Coaching career

After graduating from Providence with a degree in business management, Barto was hired as an assistant coach for the Lady Friars' hockey, softball, and field hockey teams.

Following her most successful season, Barto was named head coach of the U.S. Women’s Select and National Teams for the 2008 4 Nations Cup and 2008 IIHF Women's World Championship.
