She played for the Portland Thorns FC of the National Women's Soccer League.[1] She has represented the Sweden women's national under-23 football team.

College career

She started her career at the University of Utah before transferring to Northeastern University.[2] She was a three-year starting forward for the Northeastern Huskies from 2011 to 2013.

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.[3]
