She spent a few seasons playing on local teams before realizing that her passion resided in filming and photographing the games and players.

She finds joy in seamlessly synchronizing her edits with a chosen soundtrack, relishing the art of highlighting and immortalizing the most memorable moments from games. Topanga finds immense inspiration in the feeling of being part of the action.
