Gen Henderson joined the MSU Denver coaching staff in July, 2019, after completing her career at the College of Charleston, where she was a two-year starter at goalkeeper. She had been recruited to Charleston when Roadrunners coach Tracy Chao was on the coaching staff at that Division I institution.
In her first season with MSU Denver, Henderson helped coach Erica Torres -- who was twice named Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Goalkeeper of the Week -- and Emily Kim, whose dramatic save during penalty kicks clinched an RMAC Tournament first-round victory over Dixie State.
Henderson started all 38 games in her final two seasons at College of Charleston, compiling a record of 17-15-1 with nine shutouts, a 1.26 goals-against average and a .773 save percentage. The Cougars reached the semifinals of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament in 2018.

She also started five games as a freshman.

Henderson was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee while attending the College of Charleston.
She also served as the goalkeeper coach for the Dynasty in Cary, N.C., for four years starting in 2015.
Henderson graduated with a bachelor's in urban studies and political science, with a minor in psychology.
