After her graduation in 2010, she was named assistant fencing coach. In 2011, she won the National Championships in Women's Sabre and that same year she won a bronze medal in Belgium at the first Olympic qualifier of the season. She was the interim head coach at Columbia in 2011 and became first-ever female head coach of a men’s Division I NCAA program. She became director of fencing operations in 2013-14. [2]
