Guillou was born to a Filipino mother, Lorna (née Rivera), and a French father, Yves Guillou, in Washington, D.C., the United States.[2][3] A native of Fort Washington, Maryland, she attended the Bishop Ireton High School in Virginia for her secondary studies and later the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) for her collegiate studies.[2]
From 2012 to 2015, Guillou played for the UNC Wilmington Seahawks women's soccer (football) team which competes in the Colonial Athletic Association Dvision 1.[4] In her senior year, she helped the Seahawks secure an at-large berth for the NCAA Division I.[2]
After graduating from UNCW, Guillou signed up to play for Finnish club Oulu Nice Soccer in 2016.[5][6] She would move to Sweden to play for Morön BK[7] and in December 2020 switch to Piteå IF.[8]
When she was still a college player, her coach would convince her to join a national team. Two years prior to the Asian Cup, she sent the Philippine Football Federation a highlight reel of her earlier part of her stint in Sweden which led to her securing a Philippine passport in order for her to be able to play for the national team.[9]
Guillou made her first cap for the Philippines in the national team's 1–0 win against Thailand at the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup.[10] In that same tournament, she scored her first international goal for the Philippines in their final group match, a 6–0 win against Indonesia.[11] On April 11, 2022, Guillou scored her first international hat-trick in a friendly against Fiji, which the Philippines won 8–0.[12]
