Her career highlights include being a member of the 2007 USA World Champion team, which made history as the first American women's gymnastics team to win gold on foreign soil. An elite gymnast, she also competed at the 2008 Olympic Trials and was named to the 2008 Olympic Training Squad.
Shayla is a member of the UGA Gymnastics Hall of Fame. She lends ongoing support to the gymnastics community and often spends weekends participating in training camps as a celebrity coach and specialized clinician.
