During her youth soccer career, McDaniel was invited to Olympic Development Programs and US National Team ID Camps.[8] When McDaniel was 12, she was allowed to train with the Philippines national team at a training camp in California after her mother reached out to Ernie Nierras.[8]
College career

Club career

On March 7, 2024, McDaniel was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1 side Santos, joining compatriot Reina Bonta.[15] Despite overtaking Karen Hipólito in the starting eleven, she lost her spot to Kelly Chiavaro, and was released on July 12.[16]
