She finishes her time at Duke as a history maker, becoming the first female to leave early for professional football and the first striker to score five goals in their first five games.

On the international stage, she is already beginning to make waves after winning the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the 2022 CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship as well as captain and leading scorer of the U-20 U.S. National Team at the 2022 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

She joins NWSL Champion and Costa Rican star Rocky Rodriquez, Spain Midfielders Claudia Zornoza and Sheila Garcia and Portuguese midfielder Tatiana Pinto.
