At Princeton, MK had the privilege of contributing to a top-10 powerhouse program led by Hall of Fame coach Chris Sailer. During her time in New Jersey, MK helped the Tigers to four consecutive Ivy League regular season championships (2015-2018), three Ivy League Tournament titles (2015, 2017, 2018), four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, and two Elite Eight finishes.
Inspired by her coaches and collegiate experiences, MK began coaching in addition to her full time job after moving to San Francisco in July 2018. In April 2023, she became Head Coach at St. Ignatius College Preparatory School, guiding the Wildcats to their first-ever national ranking (#25) alongside her staff in her first full season at the helm (2024).
