She earned All-America honors in 2011, finishing fifth in the 60-meter hurdles at the NAIA National Championships where she was also 16^th in the heptathlon. She also qualified for the National Championships in 2010 in 100-meter hurdles and in the 60-meter hurdles along with the long jump in 2009. As a junior in 2011, she was selected at the HAAC Outdoor Most Valuable Performer after winning three individual titles. She made the transition to NCAA-II and the Great Lakes Valley Conference, earning All-GLVC honors in the pentathlon in 2012 with 3355 points. She was ranked among the top-25 in the NCAA in the pentathlon and 55-meter hurdles but was ineligible for National Championship selection due to NCAA transition rules. She continues to rank among the top-10 all-time performers in the 100-meter hurdles, 100 meters, high jump, long jump, triple jump, heptathlon, pentathlon, 60 meters, and 55-meter hurdles.
