She attended U.S. Women’s National Team U-16, U-18, and U-20 camps.
Her father and brothers pushed her to be competitive from a young age, with her dad telling her, "Just because you're a girl, doesn’t mean you can't compete."
She grew up playing soccer on her brothers' teams, which helped develop her skills.
She looks up to players like Neymar, Kevin De Bruyne, Ronaldinho, and Iniesta, but especially Lionel Messi because they’re both smaller players.
She believes "small players do big things" and models her game after Messi.
Off the field, she enjoys thrifting, photography, and TikTok trends.
She has an “excuse-free” mindset and approaches every challenge with determination.
Despite playing a physical game, she struggles with seeing blood—something she realized while shadowing at a hospital!

She has a Master's degree in Educational Administration (Law and Policy) from The University of Georgia.
