However, she recovered, danced in a solo role with the Pacific Northwest Ballet Company at the age of fifteen, and at eighteen graduated from Pacific Northwest Ballet School.[2][3][4][5][6]
As a child, Cahoon's disability forced her to give up her backyard trampoline. She created a garden in its place and entered it in Northwest Flower and Garden Show, winning an award.[2][6][7]
Cahoon attended Vanderbilt University[8] while continuing with treatments straightening her spine and serving on the dance/cheer team.[4][7][9][10] She spent summer semesters in Europe. Her studies included a filmmaking course. She graduated with honors in 2008.

Cahoon bought a video camera and an editing program, and made some videos in which she acted the part of a travel host while dispensing facts about Europe and her opinions about European men.[4][6][14] The videos were shown on a number of television stations. Her first video, "Why Single Girls Want to Meet European Men," made the list of Best Viral Videos of 2010.[clarification needed][4][7][9][11][14][15]
As a result of the success of her book and videos, Cahoon became a love and romance consultant for Seventeen and Cosmopolitan magazines.[16]
