She would win the first of her six major titles at the 2003 U.S. Women's Open. She claimed USBC Queens titles in 2007 and 2010, and added U.S. Women’s Open titles in 2010 and 2012.

Her international resume includes a then-record performance in winning gold in singles at the 1999 World Bowling World Championships, the first of her 22 career gold medals in international competition. She was named an assistant coach to the Team USA program in 2017.
