A serious back injury and unsuccessful surgery ended her dance career. Before returning to study for an advanced degree, she sought an evaluation for learning difficulties and found out that she had ADHD severe enough to fall under the American with Disabilities Act. She earned her M.Ed, learned to manage chronic pain, and sought a second career in the field of coaching, with an emphasis on ADHD.
