On May 17, 2018, USA Gymnastics parted ways with Faehn, who came under fire from survivors of former national team doctor Larry Nassar's abuse.

[1] After taking over the Florida program in 2003, Faehn established herself among the top tier of gymnastics coaches in the United States.

[3] In 2019 for a short period of time, she coached at Waverley Gymnastics Centre in Melbourne, Australia, before returning to the United States for family reasons.

Shortly after she was hired, she was informed by Sarah Jantzi of Twin City Twisters of a report of "uncomfortable" medical treatments administered by Larry Nassar on a national team athlete.

[4] This incident was one of the key events of the USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal and her involvement is mentioned in 2020 documentary, Athlete A.

She competed at the 1987 World Championships as part of the U.S. national team, and had the highest placement for the American women in the all-around final, finishing 19th.

As an alternate, Faehn remained on the podium after removing the springboard that Kelly Garrison-Steves used to mount the uneven bars.
