Black was the first female swimmer in program history to become an NCAA Division II Champion and is the first women's swimmer to represent the program in the Hall of Fame, finishing her career at Nova Southeastern with two National Champion titles, 12 All-American honors and two Sunshine State Conference golds. During her first year as a Shark, Black made waves at the 2012 SSC Championships, winning both the 500-yard freestyle and the 200-yard freestyle, as the conference awarded her the title of SSC Swimmer of the Year. The next month, Black became the first Shark to earn a swimming National Champion crown in the 500-yard freestyle. During the meet she also earned six All-American nods. As a senior, Black became a two-time National Champion after grabbing the gold in the 500-yard freestyle for the second-straight year, while earning All-American honors in five other events.
During her time as a Shark, Black was named to the 2012 All-SSC First Team and the 2013 All-SSC Second Team, while picking up two SSC Swimmer of the Week laurels. She was also honored with back-to-back NSU Female Athlete of the Year Awards. To this day, her times still rank her among the Top-5 in four events across program history, including the 200-yard freestyle, 500-yard freestyle, 1,000-yard freestyle and 1,650-yard freestyle.
Black earned her undergraduate degree from NSU in Exercise and Sport Science in 2013, going on to earn her MBA in International Business in 2015, also at NSU. She is a pilot in "the last frontier", flying Beechcraft 1900 for Alaska Central Express, which services cargo shipments across the entire state of Alaska – she is based out of Anchorage.
