In December 2022, after two seasons playing for Boston College Eagles, in which she started 33 matches, the Texas Longhorns announced her arrival as a high-profile transfer, alongside Abby Allen and Mia Justus. This move offered her a more competitive program with greater funding. In the 2023 season, she played eight matches, contributing to six shutouts.

She made her first appearance for the club in May 2024, in a 3–0 victory over DLR Waves and scored her first goal two weeks later against her former club Cork City.
