Since 2011 she was recognized by the BDO and was ranked 106 in the BDO invitation women. She turned down several invitations by the ADO to compete in their National competitions due to their decision, along with the WDF, to disqualify her from defending her World title in Dublin, Ireland, because she competed in 4 PDC events the prior year.

Personal life and death
Originally from Los Angeles, Bromberg lived in Las Vegas. She was a fan of the Oakland Raiders and got her nickname The Wish Granter from her work in various charities. She made her full-time living as a private detective although she gave it up, when she came to prominence after winning the inaugural PDC Women's World Championship. She then taught as a substitute teacher with the Clark County School District until a cancer diagnosis in 2012 and 2013 rendered her unable to teach.
