Finding her first club at the school sign up table, Ramsey would go on to compete with all star sides Whitehorse Rugby and Atlantis Rugby before enrolling at Dartmouth College and joining the premier rugby program in college. Playing all four years, her squad would defeat rival Harvard in the 2022 NIRA National Championship.
