Chandler was watching Shawn Johnson in the 2008 Olympics and told her mom that she wanted to do what she was doing. Her mom decided to put Chandler in gymnastics classes at her preschool in Tennessee for fun. In 2015 as a level 7 gymnast, at the age of nine, Chandler placed third in the all-around with a 38.225, first on floor exercise with a 9.800 and second on uneven bars scoring a 9.725 at the State Championships. She was on the Tennessee State Team for the Region 8 Championships. Chandler finished eighth in the all-around with a 38.375 and fifth on uneven bars.

Chandler skipped level 8 and quickly moved up to level 9 for the 2016 season. She placed fifth in the all-around and first on uneven bars with a 9.500 at the State Championships. She qualified to the Region 8 Championships. At the age of 11, Chandler started competing as a level 10 gymnast in 2017. She earned a silver medal on uneven bars at the State Championships and placed ninth on balance beam at the Region 8 Championships. In 2018, Chandler participated in elite qualifiers with River City Gymnastics.

In 2019, Chandler placed third on balance beam at the State Championships and qualified to the Region 8 Championships. Following her 2019 season, she reunited with her long-time coach, Emily Lay, at ConXion Gymnastics in Mississippi. Chandler qualified to the 2020 Level 10 State Championships but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, Chandler grabbed gold medals on vault, floor exercise and in the all-around with a 37.400 at the Level 10 State Championships. She qualified to the Junior Olympic Nationals after finishing eighth in the all-around and third on vault at the Region 8 Championships.

When Chandler isn't busy training 20 hours each week in the gym, she enjoys cooking, baking, hunting and going to the lake. She currently lives in Collierville, TN with her parents, Stephanie and Brad, two sisters, Hadley and Avalynn and a dog named Ivy. Chandler is in the Honors program at Collierville High School and she will graduate from high school in 2023.
