College career
In 2015, she began attending the University of Memphis, where she played for the women's soccer team.[5] She scored her first collegiate goal on September 13, 2015 against the Idaho Vandals.[6] After her freshman season she was named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, was named to the AAC All-Rookie Team and the All-ACC Second Team.[7][5] In 2016, she was named to the NSCAA All-Northeast Region.[5] In 2016, 2017, and 2018, she was named to both the All-AAC First Team and All-AAC Academic team all three years, while also being named to the AAC All-Tournament team in 2018.[5]

In 2015, she played with Quebec Dynamo ARSQ in the USL W-League.[8][9]
In 2019, she was set to attend preseason on trial with the Chicago Red Stars of the NWSL,[10] but was then offered a contract with Finnish club ONS Oulu in the top tier Naisten Liiga instead, which she signed.[11][12] She scored her first goal in her debut on March 23 against HJK.[13] In her sole season with Oulu, she scored 13 goals in 24 league games, finishing as runner-up for the Naisten Liiga Rookie of the Year Award.[14] She was named the 2019 Soccer Quebec women's Professional Player of the Year for her performance.[14]
