After winning her maiden bracelet in 2013, she transitioned to live poker and told PokerNews in 2019 she was enjoying the grind.

"I think poker is such a mental sport. I think there's a prime age for it; I think that your cognitive capabilities decline as you get older. It's fun but it's a grind. They don't say that for nothing."

In 2018, she finished one-two with her future husband Alex Foxen in MSPT Venetian $5,000 event. She is also a former Poker Masters champion.
