She made the move from NWSL side Angel City FC to the USL Super League’s Carolina Ascent at the beginning of the calendar year, and she’s found a new home in a familiar place, as she played collegiately at Duke. She joins the Urban Pitch Podcast to discuss her career journey, Persian background, and thoughts on the 2026 World Cup.
