In the spring of 2020, Baker spent three weeks with the Cleveland Browns coaching staff as part of the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Coach Fellowship program. She was one of six aspiring coaches, including two women, to join the Browns' staff as part of the fellowship. The fellows participated in the team's offseason practices, which were limited to virtual meetings because of the pandemic.
Baker worked with Cleveland's quarterbacks, including Baker Mayfield, by analyzing film, studying the playbook and identifying weaknesses of the team's quarterback play. She also learned coaching techniques from offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. Baker specifically addressed team unity and cohesiveness through technology interactions during the pandemic.
