College career

She started her career at the University of Utah before transferring to Northeastern University.[3] She was a three-year starting forward for the Northeastern Huskies from 2011 to 2013. The high-point of her soccer career with the Huskies came when she closed her soccer career in 2013 by leading her team to the Colonial Athletic Association tournament title — where she was named the outstanding player — and a berth in the NCAA tournament. The former Huskies captain wrapped up her collegiate career with seven goals and 14 assists, placing her fourth all-time in program history in assists.[4]
