Running for the Cincinnati Bearcats track and field program, Chandler set various school records.

The deal was from a local marketplace for student-athletes.[8] She was coached by Carmelita Jeter for her last year of collegiate competition.[4] In December 2023, Chandler became a coach for the UNLV Rebels track and field program.[4]
