She is a two-time alumna of Ohio University, holding a Bachelor of Music Education degree and a Master of Music degree.

Since 2019, Woods has served as the Executive Officer of the 100th Army Band, for which she conducts the Concert and Ceremonial Bands, and oversees all aspects of small ensembles. Under her direction, the 100th has performed across the United States and abroad, including tours in France, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.
