She began her competitive career in 1969 at the age of nine under the watchful eye of her mother and coach Hilda Moore. She experienced her first advanced competition in 1971 when she was chosen to represent Prince Edward Island at the Canada Winter Games shortly after her 10th birthday. She continued to embrace everything synchro, enjoying a successful career as a member of the Calgary Aquabelles and eventually, the Canadian National Team.

In 1983, she retired and turned to coaching where once again she stood out. She received Canadian Junior Coach of the Year in 1987. Near the same time, unable to resist the competition, she joined Masters.
