Present perfect matters

Hi all,

Right now I'm learning about simple past tense and simple present continuous. I have a question about this sentence:

She has won three times since she moved to Boston.

In that sentence, does it mean that she isn't in Boston anymore? If yes, then what should I say if I want to say that she still lives in Boston right now?

Thanks in advance
