Satchell has been a member of the national team since 2019.[3] She made her international debut for the United States at the 2019 Parapan American Games and won a gold medal.[4]
On January 15, 2015, Satchell was involved in a car accident while driving to work on an icy road. She swerved to avoid an oncoming truck, and hit a tree. Her left leg was pinned to the door, and she was stuck in the vehicle for over 40 minutes.[8] Her injuries included a concussion, a partially fractured nose, two dead arteries that went down to her left foot, nerve damage to the lower part of her left leg and a leg fracture in three places.[2] After her first surgery where doctors put a rod in her leg to address her bones being broken in three places, she developed compartment syndrome. After four more surgeries, doctors were unable to save her leg.[9] Six weeks after the accident, her leg was amputated below the knee.[10][11]
