In 2015, she played with Quebec Dynamo ARSQ in the USL W-League.[8][9]

In 2019, she was set to attend preseason on trial with the Chicago Red Stars of the NWSL,[10] but was then offered a contract with Finnish club ONS Oulu in the top tier Naisten Liiga instead, which she signed.[11][12] She scored her first goal in her debut on March 23 against HJK.[13] In her sole season with Oulu, she scored 13 goals in 24 league games, finishing as runner-up for the Naisten Liiga Rookie of the Year Award.[14] She was named the 2019 Soccer Quebec women's Professional Player of the Year for her performance.[14]
