Early life

Harvey grew up in Hermosa Beach, California, the daughter of Diana and Jackson Harvey. [2] Her sister, Maya, played beach volleyball at Stanford. [2] Harvey played club soccer for Beach FC and Slammers FC HB Køge, earning ECNL All-American honors three times and winning the ECNL under-19 national title with Slammers in 2023. [2] She attended Mira Costa High School, where she ran track. [2] She committed to Stanford during her junior year. [3] She also trained with NWSL club Angel City FC as a non-roster trialist in the 2023 preseason. [4] TopDrawerSoccer ranked her as the No. 12 prospect of the 2023 class, part of Stanford's third-ranked recruiting class. [5]

College career

Harvey started every game for the Stanford Cardinal in her freshman season in 2023, playing 25 games and scoring 1 goal. [2] She contributed to the team going undefeated in the regular season and then reaching the NCAA tournament final, where they lost 5–1 to Florida State. [6] She was named to the Pac-12 Conference all-freshman team, earned third-team All-Pac-12 honors, and was named in the NCAA all-tournament team. [7] TopDrawerSoccer named her the second-best freshman in the nation. [8]

Harvey scored 5 goals in 23 games in her sophomore season in 2024, the Cardinal's first campaign in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). [2] She scored important goals during the NCAA tournament, with a late equalizer against UConn, [9] the decisive penalty in a shootout against Arkansas, [10] and the opening header against Notre Dame, [11] as Stanford returned to the semifinals, where they lost to Wake Forest. [12]

Harvey started all 25 goals and scored 5 goals with 10 assists in her junior year in 2025, earning second-team All-ACC recognition. [2] She co-captained the Cardinal to both the ACC regular-season and tournament titles, converting a penalty in the final shootout against Notre Dame. [13] She then helped lead another deep run to the NCAA tournament final, losing 1–0 again to Florida State, and was named in the NCAA all-tournament team. [2] After three seasons in Palo Alto, she decided to turn pro and give up her remaining college eligibility. [14]

Club career

The Portland Thorns announced on December 29, 2025, that they had signed Harvey to her first professional contract on a three-year deal. [15]
