TECHNICAL SKILLS
She describes herself as a technically gifted dribbler. "I feel like I've had that since I was younger. I've always been really good with my feet, and really technical. I like going one-on-one against defenders, so that's just something I'm good at. I don't know if this is why, but when I was younger I used to carry a soccer ball around the house with me, wherever I went. It was the weirdest thing, my parents hated it because I was dirtying the floors." (equalizersoccer.com, 11 Jun 2017)

CLUB CAREER
She began her club career in the US National Women's Soccer League [NWSL] when she joined Boston Breakers as part of the 2013 NWSL Player Allocation. She played for the Chicago Red Stars and Western New York Flash before moving to Switzerland with Nationalliga A side FC Zurich in 2016. She returned to the NWSL with Boston and after spells with Sky Blue and Seattle Reign, she signed for West Ham United in the English Women's Super League in 2019. She signed a contract extension to remain at West Ham until 2022. (whufc.com, 06 Jul 2020; whufc.com, 23 Feb 2020)
