In 2011, Glebova moved from Estonia to Hackensack, New Jersey and began training with coaches Igor Krokavec and Craig Maurizi.[2][4] She placed 13th at the 2012 World Championships in Nice, France. The next season, she finished 16th at the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario. Her result qualified a spot for Estonia in the ladies' event at the 2014 Olympics.
