Their partnership ended in the spring of 2009 when Trent retired from competitive skating. Vise teamed up with Don Baldwin and began competing with him in the 2009–2010 season.
Unlike most pair teams, Vise is a clockwise spinner while her partners have been counter-clockwise spinners. They are therefore mirror pair teams.

Personal life
Vise was born in Aurora, Colorado. She works part-time as a skating coach. Her younger sister Brittany Vise is also a pair skater.
Vise is right-handed, but spins "lefty" (clockwise).
Career
Vise began skating at age four. She competed with Ryan Bradley from 1997–1998. Following that partnership, she teamed up with Laureano Ibarra. She competed with Ibarra at the World Junior Championships, placing 6th, and on the Junior Grand Prix.
When that partnership broke up, Vise was left without a partner. She teamed up with Derek Trent in the summer of 2003. They had skated at the same rink for years. He was partnerless at the same time and so they began to practice together, despite the fact that they rotate in opposite directions, which is usually a partnership-killer. Very few teams at the highest level rotate in opposite directions because it makes elements like pair spins and twists much more difficult because one partner will have to "force" him- or herself to rotate in the "wrong" direction in order to complete the element (Vise spun his way on twist lifts). They represented the Broadmoor Skating Club.
Vise / Trent won the bronze medal at their first major event together, the 2003 Golden Spin of Zagreb. Beginning in the 2006–2007 season, Vise and Trent began attempting the throw quadruple salchow in competition. They were credited for the element at the 2006 Skate Canada International, but not with landing it, because it was fully rotated but not landed successfully.
Vise / Trent began the 2007–2008 season at the 2007 Skate Canada, where they placed 5th. They went on to the 2007 Trophée Eric Bompard, where they successfully landed a throw quadruple salchow jump in their free skate, becoming the first pair team to ever perform that element in international competition. They won the pewter medal at the 2008 U.S. Championships and were sent to the 2008 Four Continents, where they placed 8th.
In the 2008–2009 season, Vise / Trent placed 5th at the 2008 Skate Canada International and the 2008 Trophée Eric Bompard. They placed 8th at the 2009 U.S. Championships. Trent retired from competitive skating following that season.
Vise began the 2009–2010 season with Don Baldwin at the 2010 Pacific Coast Sectional Championships, where they won the senior pairs event. They won silver at the 2010 Ice Challenge in Graz. Vise / Baldwin announced their retirement from competition in April 2013 and said they would coach together at the Ice Den in Scottsdale, Arizona.
