A Cincinnati native, White was a four-year soccer student-athlete at Xavier (2007-10), where she played defense and midfield and was a two-time member of the Big East commissioner’s honor roll. She got her professional start in collegiate athletics at Valdosta State, where she served as a women’s soccer graduate assistant coach for two seasons (2014-15).
White is a member of the Women Leaders in College Sports. She served as staff liaison to the Black Student-Athlete Association and a member of the diversity subcommittee during her time at Cincinnati.
