In December of 2020 she finished seventh at The Marathon Project where her 2:28:43 was the fastest marathon ever by a U.S. woman under the age of 25. In December of 2022, she continued her upward trajectory in a big way when she won the USATF Marathon Championships in 2:26:02. She joined HOKA NAZ Elite in January of 2023. Her first race as a member of the team was the USATF Half Marathon Championships where she finished sixth. There were no more races the rest of the year, however, as she gave birth to her first child, Nolan, on November 29.
