Scott was born in
Adelaide and moved to the
Gold Coast at seven years of age where she began pursuing a career in tennis as a teenager. She attended King's Christian College throughout her upbringing and relocated to
Virginia in the United States in 2014 when she accepted a tennis scholarship to attend
Norfolk State University. Following her two seasons with NSU, she returned to the Gold Coast and was inspired to try
Australian rules football for the first time at 22 years of age after seeing the success of the
inaugural AFLW season. She signed up to play for
Bond University in the
QWFA Division 1 and helped lead Bond to the first women's premiership in club history, which would lead to her and teammate
Molly Ritson being rookie drafted by the
Brisbane Lions at the
2017 AFLW draft. ==AFL Women's career==
