In her senior season, Heck made the decision to remain an amateur once her college career finished instead of pursuing a professional golf career.[7] She would win the NCAA Cle Elum regional by four strokes, then help Stanford to another NCAA team championship, defeating UCLA's Kate Villegas by a score of 4 and 3 to win the deciding match.[8] After her graduation from Stanford, Heck now works for Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, while also serving as a Second lieutenant in the Air Force Reserve Command.[5]
