Early life

Callahan attended Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School in Hollywood, Florida, and helped the school to back-to-back district championships in 2012 and 2013, the first titles in school history. During her high school career, she was selected to the Miami Herald All-County First Team in three consecutive years. She was also honored as the Sun Sentinel team MVP after two exceptional seasons.[1] She started her soccer career at Boggs Field with Hollywood Wildcats Soccer Club and continued to play her club soccer as part of Weston FC's academy. Callahan was also a talented volleyball player in high school.[2]

UCF Knights

Callahan attended University of Central Florida from 2014 to 2017. She registered nine goals and two assists in 75 games from midfield.[3] In her career at UCF, Callahan became the only player in program history to earn both AAC Offensive and Defensive player of the week honors.[4] During her senior season as a Knight, she started 17 games and played 1301 minutes as the Knights clinched the 2017 AAC regular season title.[5] She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Human Communication.

In the off-seasons, Callahan played with local Women's Premier Soccer League side FC Surge.[6]

Professional career

Orlando Pride

On March 23, 2018, Orlando Pride signed Callahan as a National Team Replacement player.[7] She made her professional debut on March 31, coming on as a substitute away to Washington Spirit. After appearing only once in 2018, she was re-signed to the team for the 2019 season, this time to the full senior squad under new head coach Marc Skinner.[8] Callahan was waived on June 21, 2020, ahead of the start of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.[9]
