Mini bio
How it started.
Christen grew up in Palos Verdes Estates and played youth soccer for Slammers FC. At Stanford, she scored 71 career goals and won the 2010 Hermann Trophy as the top player in college soccer.
Finding her way.
She earned WPS Rookie of the Year in 2011, then moved to Sweden after the league folded. She became the Swedish league’s leading scorer in 2013 and scored twice on her USWNT debut against Scotland that February.
The goals fans remember.
Christen helped the United States win the 2015 and 2019 World Cups. Her header opened the scoring against England in the 2019 semifinal. She finished her international career with 155 appearances, 64 goals and an Olympic bronze medal from Tokyo.
Building something beyond the pitch.
In 2019, Christen cofounded RE-INC with Tobin Heath, Megan Rapinoe and Meghan Klingenberg. She and Tobin launched The RE-CAP Show around the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Since retiring from professional soccer in 2025, she has continued connecting with fans through their conversations about the game and its culture.
