Bien qu\u2019elle pr\u00e9voyait concourir au niveau international junior apr\u00e8s avoir obtenu son dipl\u00f4me, elle a plut\u00f4t pris une pause de ce sport pendant qu\u2019elle terminait ses \u00e9tudes universitaires. Cependant apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9croch\u00e9 son baccalaur\u00e9at \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Calgary en 2009, elle a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 \u00e0 quel point la comp\u00e9tition lui manquait et elle a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de renouer avec le pentathlon moderne, surtout qu\u2019elle pouvait maintenant se le permettre financi\u00e8rement puisque sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle \u00e9tait d\u00e9sormais bien lanc\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Elle a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 sa premi\u00e8re comp\u00e9tition de la Coupe du monde en 2012.
