Alongside her older brother, Alex, she was coached by Slavka Kohout Button for several years, prior to moving to Colorado Springs with her family in the mid-2000’s. By the time she was ten years old, she and her brother had partnered up for the ice dance discipline.
Just a year later, they moved up to the intermediate level. Working with Tom Dickson and Judy Blumberg, they won several competitions that year including the Southwestern Regional Championships, which earned them a spot at the 2006 US Junior Championships. Though they finished second in the free dance, they ultimately won the overall title with a first-place finish in compulsory dance.

Continuing to compete, they advanced to the senior level for the 2010-11 season. Though they finished fifth at their international debut (i.e. 2010 Nebelhorn Trophy), they eventually managed to win the bronze medal at the NHK Trophy event.
With more experience under their belt, their performance as only improved in the recent years. Since the early 2010’s, the Shibutanis have continued to gather several medals at events such as Skate America, the NHK Trophy, US Championships, and Cup of China, to name a few.
Most recently, they made their 2017-18 season debut at the 2017 Rostelecom Cup event with a gold medal, after finishing first in both dance events. Since then, they’ve also won the 2017 Skate America competition, which qualified them for the Grand Prix Final, where they ended up winning a second bronze medal.
