When she was drafted, she felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and gratitude, describing it as an out-of-body experience.
For her all-time dream starting XI, she would choose Aubrey Kingsbury in goal, Wendie Renard and Becky Sauerbrunn as center backs, Emily Fox and Kelley O’Hara as outside backs, Julie Ertz at the six, Rose Lavelle and Aitana Bonmatí in midfield, and a front line of Ada Hegerberg, Linda Caicedo, and Trinity Rodman.
Her first football memory is of playing AYSO and scoring so many goals that the coaches made her switch teams at halftime to balance the game.
In addition to football, she participated in track and basketball growing up.
Her first concert was One Direction, when she was a big fan of Harry Styles, and she later also attended shows by LANY, Post Malone, and Kenny Chesney.
Her favorite way to spend an off day is fly fishing with her husband, Cam, a hobby they enjoy together, often in the evenings after training.
The coolest place she has been fly fishing is a secret spot in Idaho, which she keeps undisclosed to protect its privacy.
The biggest fish she has ever caught was a 23-inch Cutthroat trout.
She always keeps strawberries and blueberries in her fridge.
She has two cats, Max and Sam, who live at her parents’ house.
If she could learn a new skill, it would be tennis, as she finds the sport fascinating and admires players like Coco Gauff.
Her favorite food is her mom’s spaghetti with meat sauce and Prego, made with love and served without cheese.
The career highlight she is most proud of is scoring a left-footed free kick against UCLA as a junior, tying the game against a highly ranked opponent.
She has three siblings - Zachary, Thomas and Brittany.
She earned a master's degree in Accounting from the University of Utah.
After her football career, she would like to move into the business world and become a CFO.
She started playing football at just four years old and fell in love with the sport right away.
She married her husband, Camen Brown, in May 2022.
