Oregon ravens STAFF

President

Oana Dumitrescu was born in Bucharest, Romania and immigrated to Portland, Oregon with her family when she was 10 years old. As a young political asylee, she retained the positive aspects of her roots and familial values, while embracing the American culture.

Oana's drive to lead and give back to her community, led to her professional experience of working in the home medical equipment industry for over 20 years as an executive leader, helping to improve the quality of lives for athletes, those with temporary and permanent disabilities and the elderly population.

With twin sons who played football from ages eight throughout high school, having herself spent many nights playing Offensive Line and Defensive Line, as well as being an NFL football fan, Oana is no stranger to football.

Oana believes that sports has the potential to amplify women's voices and tear down traditional gender norms and barriers. "Women in sports defy the surprisingly still-standing stereotype that women are not strong, as capable or athletically inclined. I want to provide an environment where women can focus on achieving their goals in football through hard work and dedication, so together we can achieve success."

You can catch Oana spending time with her twin sons, watching sports, creating deliciousness in the kitchen, cardio boxing, playing volleyball (her first love), and collecting driving accomplishments on the road. She has a great appreciation for a good, fast car!

Director of Operations

Known for being a leader and powerhouse on the field, retired International Rugby Player Heidi Shelburg is bringing that same dedication and commitment to the Oregon Ravens Women's Football Team.

Heidi has a history of high performance and hard work.  Starting at a young age, Heidi showed her competitive edge by earning the honor of 1st team All-American, playing on two all-star teams before moving to England to play Rugby.  After a few short months in the UK, Heidi earned a spot on the England Super 4's team, Regional Squads and in 2007 was selected to be on the England Rugby Union squad as well as the England Rugby League squad that made their way to the 2008 World Cup in Sydney, Australia.

Always able to see an opportunity for personal growth and development, Heidi has taken that skill and employed it to help build up others.  Her passion for women empowerment and finding beauty in physical strength and athleticism has fueled her coaching across a range of sports with women of all ages.

After Heidi's career recently made a U-turn, she decided to test her mettle as a new business owner, launching Plain Jane Consulting this past September.  With a strength for reviewing and developing processes to build consistency and efficiency in all things organizationally focused, Heidi plans to bring those skills to our team.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Heidi is the mother to Jakob (her pride and joy), her two dogs, many plants and one cat.  She is also actively engaged in philanthropy, as a founding member of the non-profit Hands of Hope, which focuses on supporting homeless students and foster families throughout their journey to adulthood.

Heidi also flexes her creative muscles from time to time and enjoys painting, drawing, working with clay, and the occasional house project.

General Manager of Flag Football  

Tracy  grew up playing football with my cousins and on the playground while learning the fine details of the game from my referee dad. Tracy started coaching women's sports at 17 as the manager of my first Little League softball team and have been coaching girl's softball, soccer, and basketball teams ever since. Due to no organized football opportunities, Tracy played rugby throughout my college years. 

In 2000 Tracy started out playing women's semi-pro with the Portland Shockwave (IWFL) as a tight end, defensive end and guard, while also helping with behind-the-scenes management. 

In 2008 Tracy tried to retire, but got reeled into playing for and helping to manage the newly formed Portland Fighting Fillies (WFA) as a D-End and pulling guard. Retired from the Fillies in 2011 and started PA announcing for the Utah Blitz and the Fillies. Announcing turned into coaching opportunities. 

After a hiatus to become a Master Gardener and Watershed Steward, Tracy found the Oregon Ravens (WNFC). Tracy spent the first two years as their PA announcer and then transitioned into coaching and helping out wherever Tracy can. Tracy is excited to see the growth in this sport over the last 26 years and looking forward to assisting in further growth and expansion!

PR and Social Media Consultants 

PDX Bros was born to bridge the gap between teams, their players, and the passionate fan base that fuels them. Recognizing a void in social media content—content that fans could truly connect with—we set out to create something different. Both Dylan and Sabastian grew up immersed in sports, from youth leagues to high school competition, shaping their understanding of what sports mean—not just as athletes, but as fans. By blending their lived experience on the field with their passion for connection, PDX Bros delivers content that brings fans closer, building real, lasting bonds with the teams they love.

Sabastian Cantrell’s love for sports began in childhood, starting with basketball before finding his passion in water polo. He competed at the Junior Olympics for three years and reached the state championship level. After moving to Spokane in 2009, he discovered a passion for photography and videography, merging his creative vision with his athletic roots. Following his own battle with alcoholism, Sabastian turned to social media as a platform for healing—using his voice to help others navigate recovery. That journey ultimately revealed a gap in sports media, inspiring him to create authentic, fan-focused content that connects athletes and their supporters on a deeper level.

Dylan Dixon, an Oregon native, is a dedicated athlete and creative whose passion for sports and storytelling runs deep. A standout in baseball (eight years) and basketball (twelve years) during his time in Oregon City, Dylan developed a strong foundation in discipline and teamwork. His competitive drive extended beyond traditional sports into the racing world, where he spent five years working as a mechanic with monster truck teams—gaining a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective of live motorsports. His early passion for filmmaking naturally evolved into content creation, where he now captures the energy, emotion, and culture surrounding athletics. Whether behind the lens or in the action, Dylan brings fans closer to the moments that matter.

At PDX Bros, a lifetime of sports experience meets creative storytelling to connect teams, players, and fans in a way that feels real. Dylan’s background as a multi-sport athlete and mechanic, combined with Sabastian’s journey through athletics and personal transformation, shapes every aspect of the brand. At the core of PDX Bros is a simple mission: to humanize the athlete. By moving beyond traditional PR and surface-level content, PDX Bros creates stories that allow fans to truly know the people behind the jersey. Through a fan-first approach and a commitment to authenticity, PDX Bros is redefining sports storytelling—building stronger connections, deeper community, and a new standard for how sports are experienced.
