As she adds a fourth Champions League medal to her collection, she’s also won a bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games, four Division 1 Féminine league titles and three Coupe de France trophies. 

As one of four Canadians that reached the Round of 16 or later in the 2019-20 UWCL, she’s making history and collecting all the medals she can.
