As a freshman in high school, she captured the 3AAA New Mexico State Championship, launching a successful competitive tennis career.

In 2005–06, she posted an impressive 18–10 singles record and a 15–8 doubles record, earning All-Conference honors. She later transferred to the University of Cincinnati in 2006, competing primarily at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles positions and finishing the 2007–08 season with the team’s best singles record.
