Davison was born in Perth, Western Australia on 18 August 2001,[1] but moved to Broome, in the state's north, at a young age. She lived there for 10 years, throughout all of primary school, before moving back to Perth for high school. At first, she played basketball, but she started playing football at the Noranda Hawks in 2018. Growing up, she was a Geelong supporter.[2]
