Parker’s first taste of the sport came at an early age when she was in elementary school. Her parents started their community’s first local field hockey program, where a stick was placed into Parker’s hands. The more she played, the more she realized her love of the sport. Going into high school, Parker was torn between soccer and field hockey but ultimately ended up choosing hockey because her sister was a senior at the time and Parker wanted to play alongside of her. An established athlete within the Junior High Performance program, Parker graduated to the senior national team in 2016 and is looking to contribute to Team USA’s success.
