Swimming career Jeffrey began swimming at the age of six, In 2003, for her senior year at Atlantic, she was joined on the swim team by her younger sister Kirstie.

Jeffrey was highly recruited, and chose to go across the country to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Wright's parents withdrew their consent for him to continue to train, including not paying his dues to Swimming New Zealand.

Their planned wedding was called off a year later.

She relocated to Salem, Massachusetts, and took a job with Apple Inc.
