Early life

Allen was born on March 20, 1995, in Clinton, Maryland. [1]

Allen ended her collegiate career as the all-time assist leader at Notre Dame and in the ACC, and with the most consecutive starts in Notre Dame history. [2]

Professional career

Allen was drafted early in the second round by the New York Liberty but she was the final cut as the Liberty cut down their roster to the limit. Because she was cut, she was able to finish her final week of college and participate in the graduation ceremonies. Before she could even unpack she got a call from the Liberty asking her to return to the team. Brittany Boyd had sustained an injury and would be out for the season. Bill Laimbeer, the Liberty coach, was surprised that Allen hadn't been claimed by another team so was happy to have her back on the team. [3]

Allen signed to play with Dynamo Moscow for the 2017–18 season. [4]

Allen has also played in the Australian Women's National Basketball League, playing with the Melbourne Boomers for three seasons. She was part of the Boomers' 2022 championship-winning team, winning the Rachael Sporn Medal as most valuable player of the Finals series. [5]

On July 21, 2022, Allen signed a 7-day contract with the Minnesota Lynx. [6] She proceeded to sign two more 7-day contracts with the team. [7]

Allen re-signed with the Lynx for the 2023 season. [8]

On February 1, 2024, Allen signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Sky. [9]

On February 4, 2025, Allen and reserved rights to Nikolina Milić were traded to the Connecticut Sun in exchange for Rebecca Allen. [10]
