Early life

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.[2] 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.[3]

In the off-seasons, Callahan played with local Women's Premier Soccer League side FC Surge.[7]
