[edit] Basketball career

A native of Hysham, Montana, she graduated in 1994 from Montana State University, where she played for their basketball team, nicknamed The Bobcats, and earned a degree in nursing. She led the Bobcats to their first championship in the Big Sky Conference.

She began her professional career in 1996 with the Columbus Quest in the now-defunct American Basketball League (ABL). She became the ABL's all-time free throw percentage leader (147-168, 87 percent).

After the ABL folded due to financial difficulties, she joined the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) from 1999 to 2002 for Charlotte Sting, Washington Mystics, and the Sacramento Monarchs.

Citing pain in her right knee, she announced her retirement shortly before the 2003 season.

In 2000, she married her longtime boyfriend, Brent Bilodeau, a professional ice hockey player in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL).

She now lives with her family in Las Vegas, Nevada and currently works as a registered critical care nurse.
