She worked as a Physical Therapist at Tim Foley Physical Therapy in Hood River Oregon from 2006 to July of 2017.

Her clients have ranged in age from 8 years old to 102 years young.

She has completed many sprint and Olympic distance triathlons, more than a dozen half Ironman finishes and 4 Ironman finishes, 3 at Ironman Canada including a division win in 2007. More recently her competitive focus has been on cycling, including road racing, cyclocross and endurance mountain biking.
