Growing up as a coach’s kid in Kingston, Ont., Edwards always had to work harder than her teammates to prove herself, with her mom and brother sharing duties of teaching the game to a 12-year-old Edwards.
In 2019, she averaged 11.4 points and 6.7 rebounds at the U19 FIBA World Cup in Thailand as the youngest player on the Canadian roster. That same year, she was invited to play with the Senior National Team for the first time, going on to suit up for the 2019 FIBA AmeriCup and the Olympic Pre-Qualifying Americas Tournament.
Along the way, she was named 2019 NBA Basketball Without Borders Global MVP, and 2020 BioSteel Athlete of the Year, OSBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
