Early in her career, Goolsbee competed with James Schilling for the United States.

In 1990, Goolsbee teamed up with German ice dancer Hendryk Schamberger to compete for Germany. They were coached by Martin Skotnicky in Oberstdorf. They won the German national title four times and competed at the 1994 Winter Olympics, placing ninth.[1] Goolsbee/Schamberger finished as high as seventh at the World Championships (1994) and eighth at the European Championships (1995). They parted ways in 1995.

Goolsbee later had a brief partnership with Armenian ice dancer Samuel Gezalian. They won the German title in 1997.[2]

Goolsbee and Schamberger teamed up again in 1997 to skate in shows.[3]
