Oregon ravens leadership

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!

Coach Price lettered 4 years in varsity basketball, 3 in varsity football, and graduated as MVP in both. In 1988 Coach Price played football for Glendale City College becoming the Mission Bowl Champions, then began his coaching career in 1997 as head coach at Jefferson High School where they took home the City Championship in 1999 and 2000.

His resume includes defensive line coach at Southern Oregon University in 2006, Head Coach for Parkrose High School in 2008, and currently Head Coach for Roosevelt High School earning the title of Portland Interscholastic League Champions in 2018, as well as Portland Interscholastic League Coach of The Year.

Coach Price has also had multiple stints at coaching women’s football, reaching division championship success on multiple occasions.

Coach Price loves coaching his son TJ, sushi and enjoying an occasional cigar. 

Asia’s passion for football began in 7th grade where she played QB on the boy’s team at Wind River Middle School. Asia then reconnected to women’s tackle football as a player in 2001 with her football journey leading her to becoming an Assistant Coach, Head Coach, and later, General Manager. 

She is used to breaking barriers, being the first-generation high school graduate in her family, and recognized as one of Portland Business Journal’s 40 under 40. Asia holds a B.A. in Psychology from Linfield and an MBA in Nonprofit Management from the University of Portland.

Asia currently serves as the Executive Director of Playworks PACNW where she supports the creation of positive environments in which youth thrive. Her role allows her to be a part of an organization whose mission increases in the overall health and well-being of our community with her motto being: live with intention, have integrity, choose compassion, and inspire hope. 

Outside the office, Asia is an avid Las Vegas Raider’s fan (seems fitting she joins a team whose colors are similar) and her family recently expanded in 2018 as Asia and wife welcomed their daughter, Olive.   

Fast-forward to 2023, we’ve excited to have Asia now call the Oregon Ravens her football family and can’t wait to see her bring her knowledge of both non-profit management and love of football to the team.  

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.

Ashlie McDonald is a creative at heart and a systems thinking coordinator by trade. She calls Portland her 2nd home, and has spent most of her adult life in Oakland, CA. 

Her love for volleyball gave rise to her leadership and passion for skills development from 6th grade through college, with various sports sprinkled in along the way. 

While attending Mills College, her love of multimedia art developed, and she utilizes those skills in providing content management and marketing for the Ravens.

Having joined the Ravens staff initially in 2019, Ashlie quickly realized that the field would be calling her name and committed to playing. She is now in her 5th season as an Oregon Ravens line woman, all-star player, mom, entrepreneur, and administrative professional.

Josh Bradford is a Portland native who dreamed of playing football on Sundays and started playing football, basketball and baseball at the young age of 10. His playing career in football spanned 12 seasons as he lettered all four years of high school, was awarded lineman of the year twice, 1st team all-conference offense and 2nd team all-conference defense, finishing his football career with two years at Rocky Mountain College in Montana.

His short but successful repertoire in coaching started in 2017 as a defensive line coach, but his love for the line recently moved him into coaching both positions for Roosevelt high school where he took co-part in the success of coaching 2 offensive and 2 defensive linemen to all-conference status, one of them also reaching defensive player of the year and 1st team all-state honors. The team ended this season as league champions. Alongside coaching, Josh also works as a campus monitor for the Parkrose School District in east Portland.

Bradford jumped at the chance of team ownership because he’s always felt the game of football changed his life and helped steer him in the right direction. He is determined to provide women the best experience possible playing the greatest game on earth. “After my first season coaching women, it was abundantly clear that the potential for women’s football is vast. I want to introduce more women to football and help women’s football grow.”

You can catch Coach Bradford rooting for America’s team, the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Lakers. In his spare time, he enjoys fishing, soul food, 90’s hip hop music, and he prides himself on his sports trivia knowledge. You can also catch him doing great impersonations of fellow coach/owners Price and Stoudamire! 

Anthony Stoudamire comes from an enduring legacy of well-known Oregon athletics contributors, spanning more than six decades combined, and includes brothers, nephews, and cousins.

Those that know him well call him Coach Stoud, and he has spent the better part of his life giving back to his community. Prior to shifting careers 14 years ago, Anthony was a manager of protective services for the Child Welfare Department of the State of Oregon. He currently works in the adult mental health field and has served as the Offensive Coordinator at Roosevelt High School in Portland from 2017 to the present.

His coaching resume extends back to 1978 as Head Freshman Coach at Jefferson High School until 1983 and continuing as Director/Coach of youth Football until 1995. At Jefferson, he also held the position as Offensive Coordinator from 1993 to 2000 and returned as Head Coach in 2006 until 2012. Anthony then moved on to Coach at Benson High School as Head Coach from 2012 to 2014 and Offensive Coordinator until 2016. Throughout his coaching experience, he has also started youth programs for 5th to 8th graders and provided private training and consulting to local programs, college athletes and coaches.

Coach Stoud has a myriad of personal interests. He loves spending time with his children, in his spare time he is an avid reader and traveler. He prioritizes and enjoys a good pedicure, and he is also a poet.

Now that his focus has transitioned to growing a women’s tackle football team, he is devoting a lot of time and energy to ensure executing a successful organization "gets done the right way" because he is fully committed to providing a professional experience to Ravens players and fans, alike.
