Early life

Callahan attended Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School 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 played her club soccer as part of Weston FC's academy. Callahan was also a talented volleyball player in high school.[2]

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]
