Career

In 2015, she signed with the Sheffield Steeldogs of the men's English Premier Ice Hockey League on a two-way contract allowing her to appear on loan with the Bradford Bulldogs in the men's second-tier league, the National Ice Hockey League (NIHL), when she wasn't starting games for the Steeldogs.[5]

In 2017, she moved to Sweden to take the starting position with Göteborg HC.[6]

In 2018, she saved 72 out of 75 shots in a loss to Linköping HC and would almost repeat that performance in 2019 by making 64 saves in a loss to Luleå HF/MSSK.[7][8]
