She began her football career to avoid joining the school choir (that was the activity that all of the girls did).

Bott has played for clubs in Germany, Sweden, Norway, and England, including FF USV Jena, Vittsjö GIK, Vålerenga, and Leicester City.

CJ moved out from her home at the age of 16 to follow her dreams of becoming a pro.

During 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup she broke her arm in the second game of the group stage against Canada.

CJ loves to travel in her downtime, especially with her fiancé.
