Proctor was named Mount Holyoke's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) advisor in 2024. Proctor also served as the Interim Senior Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator at Mount Holyoke from January through June 2024. 

Proctor, who earned a Bachelor's degree in Movement and Sports Studies with a concentration in Physical Education from Springfield College in 2014, became the eighth full-time head coach in the Mount Holyoke College soccer program dating back to 1979.

Proctor served as a volunteer assistant coach with the Springfield College women's soccer program during the Fall of 2020. Prior to working with her alma mater, Proctor held a pair of head coaching positions at Rockford University in Rockford, Ill., from 2019-20, and SUNY Purchase in Purchase, N.Y., from 2017-2019. 

While at Purchase, Proctor played a vital role in increasing the program's roster size, as well as developing strategies and philosophy in order to foster advancements within the program. Her work resulted in the program seeing its most amount of wins dating back to 2012, as she also helped a pair of student-athletes earn All-Conference recognition following the 2017 season. Proctor also served as an assistant coach at Simpson College from 2015 to 2016. At Simpson, Proctor helped recruit 18 new players to the program for the 2016 season.

As a student-athlete, Proctor helped Springfield College to three New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) titles and four NCAA Division III Championship Tournament appearances from 2010-2014. Playing midfield for the Pride, Proctor started in 17 of the 44 games that she saw action in over a four-year span and was a crucial midfielder in Springfield's league titles in 2012 and 2013. Following her senior season, Proctor was the recipient of the Kate Richardson Unsung Hero Award. 

Proctor is a member of the United Soccer Coaches organization and holds a Level 2 license, with six diplomas completed. Additionally, the Newington, Conn., native holds a Massachusetts Teaching License in Physical Education. Proctor also received her Master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University. 

The Mount Holyoke College soccer program added a new assistant head coach to the Lyons Department of Athletics last week, with the appointment of 20-year veteran coach Jill Serafino in March 2026.

"I am thrilled to add Jill to the Mount Holyoke soccer program," said head coach Breena Proctor. "Her knowledge of the game, experience, competitive mindset, and dedication to the student-athlete experience make her an outstanding addition to the coaching staff. I have no doubt she will make an immediate impact both on and off the field."

Serafino brings a depth of coaching experience, including 16 at the collegiate level, to Mount Holyoke. She has served as assistant coach at Springfield College, American International College, and the University at Albany, and is the former head coach at Simpson College. Most recently, Serafino worked as the athletic director at The MacDuffie School in Granby, Mass., and as Director of Operations for United Women's Soccer, a nationwide pro-am league.

"I am excited to join a program that places an emphasis on culture and the development of its student-athletes," Serafino said. "I'm looking forward to working with the players, supporting their growth, and helping the team compete at the highest level."
