Raygun is gunning for a new career after accepting a voluntary buyout from her university job in Australia.

The Olympic breakdancer (real name: Rachael Gunn), who went viral for failing to receive a single point from judges at the 2024 Paris Games, is moving on from her job at Macquarie University in Sydney, where she lectured on media and cultural studies, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

“We need to have a serious conversation about higher education in this country,” Gunn, 38, told the Herald on Wednesday, April 29.

She added, “I’m very worried for my colleagues. I don’t think that things are getting better for them.”

On her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Gunn — who left her position in the Faculty of Arts in February — directed her fans to a website that shows she will now work as a public speaker.
