She started her career as an amateur in 2005 and played for MVLA Avalanche until 2010, as well as for her school’s soccer team, Sacred Heart Preparatory, between 2008 and 2011.

She also took part in the 2-0 win against The Netherlands in early July 2019 to win the 2nd-straight World Cup for the United States Women’s Team.
