Outside of World Long Drive

In addition to World Long Drive, she is a CrossFit coach, and has previously competed in the CrossFit Games. Prior to getting into World Long Drive, Garner played collegiate golf at East Tennessee State University and Texas A&M University. Upon graduating from college, Garner focused solely on training heavily for CrossFit and did not touch a golf club for three years. Upon hearing that a WLD pro used CrossFit as training, she decided to pursue the long drive challenge.

She also works as an academic specialist for the school's athletic program at large while also volunteering as a strength and conditioning coach for the women's golf team.
