While at MSU, she was an assistant coach for the Women’s Gymnastics Team, a top 20 NCAA Division 1 Ranking. There, she choreographed, coached, and assisted in rehab for collegiate athletes.

During all of her education, she began to work with all levels of athletes, specifically gymnasts, dancers, theater, cheerleaders, and musicians (Performing Arts Medicine), and focused on the treatment, care, education, and long-term health of Elite gymnasts. She became nationally and internationally recognized as a leading lecturer, educator, and researcher in the sport.

Wearing two hats, she goes as a journalist as well as a physical therapist. As a 15+-year medical editor for Inside Gymnastics Magazine, she was responsible for writing feature stories on the athletes, articles for the magazine, as well as social media competition postings due to her vast history and knowledge of the sport as a whole. Combining knowledge of the sport and medicine, her stories reached tens of thousands, as did interviews by NBC, BBC, and various international television outlets.
