About the player
Before she ever set foot in Scandinavian football, the player made her name in American college soccer.
Her path there ran through youth football in Ohio, where she played for Cleveland FC as the club won the 2018 USYS U-15 National Title, and later through the Cleveland Ambassadors in the WPSL, with whom she won the 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Championship and earned a place on the All-Conference Team. Academic recognition followed her college form: she was named to the ACC All-Academic Team in both 2023 and 2024, and to the CSC Academic All-District Team in 2023.
In February 2026 she signed for BK Häcken on a free transfer, moving into the Damallsvenskan. In her first professional season she featured in the inaugural UEFA Women's Europa Cup, which Häcken won in May 2026 after a 3–2 aggregate victory over Hammarby in the final. By June 2026 she had made 11 league appearances for the club.
On the international side, she has yet to earn a senior cap, though she has been invited to United States youth training camps at U-14, U-18/U-19 and U-20 level.
