Before taking an interest in volleyball, Lete played soccer, but she later decided to take up club volleyball in seventh grade, which led to her joining the Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Association (KIVA).[2][5] She then played in the NCAA Division I program during her time at George Washington University.[6][7]
