International career

Although she was born in Canada, Hylton-Pelaia was also able to represent Jamaica, through her father, and Italy, through her mother. [3] She was first called up by Jamaica at the under-20 level, named to the squad for the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship. [6] Hylton-Pelaia made her debut in the lead-up to the tournament, starting a friendly against Costa Rica in January.

Senior career, 2019–present

At the senior level, Hylton-Pelaia was called up for the first time at the 2019 Pan American Games. [9] She earned her debut senior cap in the Group A opener against Mexico and went on to play in every minute of the tournament as Jamaica finished in seventh place. [10] Following the end of the Games, head coach Hue Menzies said that Hylton-Pelaia "did well" and that she would be in consideration for future call-ups during the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifying process.
