She started the first girls tackle football league in the country, partnered with Under Armour to create more opportunities for female football players, filed a Title IX lawsuit that resulted in Utah high schools making significant changes, and worked with Utah's Lieutenant Governor to draft a gender equality reporting legislation that was enacted into law in 2022.
