Born in Providence, Forman played college tennis with Clemson University in the early 1980s. She was a three-time singles All-American for Clemson and was twice named ACC Player of the Year.

Forman qualified for her first grand slam main draw at the 1983 US Open and her best performance was a second round appearance at the 1986 Wimbledon Championships, where after beating Eva Pfaff she fell to the top seed and eventual champion Martina Navratilova.[1]
