The 24-year-old has signed with the Adelaide Lightning for the condensed 2020 WNBL campaign. She will provide a scoring punch for the club in the absence of a number of key players from last season.
"I think it's a really good opportunity and a versatile team to be a part of," she said.
"I'm excited about bringing some aggression offensively and defensively to this group at both ends of the court."

The Korweinguboora native joins the Lighting on the back of a productive season with the Bendigo Braves, where she averaged eleven points a game off the bench.
She said she wanted to add to the Lightning's depth at both ends of the floor and gain some consistency in her game.
"Defensively I want to be a stopper and add to the team's already solid recruiting in this area," she said.
Adelaide will mark the third stop in her WNBL career after making her debut with the Canberra Capitals in 2014.
The 2020 WNBL will commence a 14-game season out of a hub in North Queensland from November 12 to December 20.
