The 5-7 guard from Dallas, Ore., missed her senior season at Westview High School with a torn ACL in her left knee in 2015-16. She delayed her college enrollment by a year and became a freshman at Salt Lake City CC before tearing her right ACL in July of 2017. She underwent another ACL surgery on her right knee in November of 2018, missing the entire 2018-19 season. In her only season on the court in Salt Lake City, she averaged 10.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals while helping the Bruins to the NJCAA Region 18 title.
