They won the pewter medal at the 2003 U.S. Championships (senior) and a bronze medal at the 2004 U.S. Championships,[8] a total of four national medals in four years.

In May 2004, Galler-Rabinowitz/Mitchell decided to relocate to Stamford, Connecticut to train under Natalia Dubova.[7] In the 2004–05 season, they placed ninth at both of their Grand Prix events. In December 2004, Mitchell decide to undergo surgery to repair a grade two superior and anterior cartilage tear in the labrum of his left shoulder.[9] As a result, the dance team missed the 2005 U.S. Championships and returned to competition the following season.[10] They ended their partnership after placing ninth at the 2006 U.S. Championships.

In March 2011, the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame awarded her the Marty Glickman Award, as the female Jewish Athlete of the Year.[11]
