"But something you learn on social media is you will get hate and you will get people that are bitter towards you, especially when you have success. But I think that having the eyes on me has been such a blessing in my life, and I feel like it's translated over into eyes on the sport of gymnastics, which was a huge deal to me and a huge reason why I kept coming back for more. ... Watching the growth of the sport, and women's sports overall, has meant so much to me," she said.

In her last collegiate year, she participated in a few matches and later suffered from an avulsion fracture in her kneecap, thus concluding her season. She retired from the sport in April 2025.
