Following her college career, Goodenbour played professional basketball for Linkspring Dambasket in Sweden in the 1995–96 season, then played in the American Basketball League for the Richmond Rage in 1996–97 and the Portland Power in 1997–98, and for the Sacramento Monarchs of the WBNA in 1999–2000.
Coaching career
Goodenbour coached women's basketball for one year in 1994–95 for the University of San Francisco before embarking on her professional career. She returned to coaching in 2002 as associate head coach at Santa Rosa Junior College. She became head coach in 2003, guiding the team to two conference titles. She was named Bay Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 2005. In 2005, she returned to USF as lead assistant coach for one season, then was hired as head coach for the Chico State Wildcats in 2006. She was named California Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year in 2008 as the Wildcats compiled a 28–6 record and finished the season ranked 17th in the Division II Coaches Poll.
Goodenbour was hired to coach women's basketball at UC Irvine in 2008, where she remained for four years.

With her hire, Goodenbour became the fourth head coach in CSUDH women's basketball history.
On June 8, 2016, Cal State East Bay hired Goodenbour as head women's basketball coach, after Suzy Barcomb moved up to Division I Seattle.
