"I'm super excited, this will be an amazing experience and a great opportunity for me to learn from the best in the game.
"I'll just have to wait and see if I get a chance on the field and I'm ready to make the most of it if that happens."
Satchell, who played for Ngongotaha until the age of 14 before moving to Rotorua United for two seasons and then Hamilton club Claudelands Rovers for a year, is now based in Auckland with Three Kings United, after moving north to further her football career. It's a decision she said was paying off on the pitch.
"It's definitely been the right move. I've been able to train at a much higher level and the facilities available are brilliant," Satchell said.
"My game has really progressed. I feel a lot more confident on the ball and play without fear.
"Also playing up here means that you are constantly being looked at by scouts and national coaches which was what got me spotted in the first place."
The New Zealand women's side train at the QBE stadium in Auckland where Satchell and her teammates are preparing to better their quarter-final appearance at the 2012 London Olympic Games and contend for a medal at Rio.
"We want to win a medal and the squad have the right mix of experience and youth to compete against the top sides," Satchell said. "It would be great to make history for this country and we have the right team culture to do that."
The New Zealand Ferns have had mixed preparation with a defeat and a draw against the Australian Matildas in June, followed by two defeats and a draw against the US women's U19 side as part of the American team's three-game tour in the country - one against the New Zealand A team that was made up of many regular Football Ferns and two more against the New Zealand U20 side.
Satchell, who picked up her first cap for her country in her side's 2-0 loss to Australia, particularly impressed against the USA.
"I felt like I played well and I really pushed myself," she said.
"The matches have prepared us well for our Rio campaign. We may not have got all the wins we wanted but the squad is ready to step it up." As part of the final month of Olympic preparation, Satchell with train with the New Zealand squad four times a week, which includes playing friendlies against top level Auckland men's sides.
"It's important to play against boys because they are very fast and strong which is exactly the right sort preparation we want."
Satchell will have plenty of family support from parents Mike and Kathy, older sister Eillish and older step-siblings Lea, Kayne and QJ,alongside the backing of the Rotorua football community, who will be cheering her on.
"It will help me perform, knowing that they will all be back home watching," she said.
"I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. My parents put in hours and hours to take me to and from training and Rotorua set me up for this opportunity."
Deryck Shaw, the New Zealand Football president from Rotorua, said it was 'incredible for the community" to have a female footballer from the area representing her country at Olympic level.
"It's such a positive for Rotorua and the wider area. It shows that with the right coaching and development the sky is the limit."
Satchell is proud to represent her country and there's one part of her Olympic experience she is particularly looking forward to.
"I can't wait to be a part of the opening ceremony - that will be a memory that I will never forget," she said.
"When I was younger I always enjoyed seeing the New Zealand team walk out with the flag bearer and to have that opportunity now, well it's a dream come true."
The 18-woman New Zealand squad will fly to Rio on July 19 with their Olympic strip being revealed next week in Auckland.
"The Olympics is the greatest show on earth and the squad will give it their best shot to come home with a medal."
