She was also a member of USA Swimmings Grapevine-Colleyville Aquatic Team, and after college, on two USA Masters teams.

She then attended Messiah University in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania where she swam all four years, served as a Swim Captain, and graduated with a degree in Studio Art. She went on to become an accomplished professional oil painter. Her final solo show was entitled, "Hope Revealed," based on Matthew 27:51.
