She's a great chess player but she's never been a World Champion. There's no need to embelish her story. She's currently training to become a surgeon at University of Missouri School of Medicine.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that's the same as World Champion? But she's currently ranked 6365th of active players.
