Early life
Constant was born in the United States as the eldest daughter of Haitian father Reverend Joseph Constant and an American mother.[2][3][4] She played college soccer for the women's team of the University of Virginia.[5]
Club career
In 2023, Constant signed for Portuguese side Torreense.[6]
In July 2024, Constant was announced as a member of the inaugural roster for DC Power of the USL Super League, bringing her within thirty minutes of her childhood home.[7][8] She was named the club's first-ever captain and starred in 19 matches as DC Power finished second-to-last in the league standings.[8] At the end of the season, the club exercised Constant's contract option.[9] On 14 February 2026, Constant scored her first professional goal, the equalizer in a 1–1 draw with Tampa Bay Sun FC.[10]
International career
Constant was selected to United States women's national youth team training camps five times. However, she elected to pursue playing internationally for Haiti.[11]
Constant was nicknamed "Cyborg" by her Haiti women's national football team teammates.[4] As she helped Haiti qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, the first time they qualified for the World Cup, she was regarded as a fan favorite due to her performances as a defender.[12]
