She was the first Canadian to win the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year Award and won it twice. For Canada she captained the 2003 junior team to a bronze medal, then won senior World Cup bronze in 2009 and silver in 2013, the best finish by a Canadian team at that tournament, and was named to the 2013 All-World Team. As a professional she was the first selection of the Baltimore Ride in the inaugural United Women's Lacrosse League draft and later played for the Baltimore Brave in the Women's Professional Lacrosse League. She has coached at Loyola University since 2009.
