At her first international boccia event (New York, 1984), she won a bronze medal in the women’s CP1 category. She competed at the 1988 Paralympic Games and set a Canadian and world record in the 50m backstroke at the 1986 Paralympic Games. In 1990, Debbie broke this record at Assen, and then demonstrated slalom for the Queen of Holland.
A highlight of her career is participating as an international referee at the 1992 and 1996 Paralympic Games. For a number of years, Debbie was also the treasurer for the International Boccia Committee of CPISRA. She has written several articles and spoken in many venues.
