College career
Raised in Costa Mesa, California, Munoz began her college career in 2012, being a defender and forward for the Golden West Rustlers.[4] As a freshman, she played 14 matches, scored 2 goals and made 1 assist.[4] Next season, as a sophomore, she transitioned definitely into a forward and improved her performance, playing 21 matches, scoring 10 goals and making 6 assists.[7]
In 2014, Munoz moved to the Martin Methodist RedHawks, where she began to play as a midfielder (besides forward).[3] Like her stint at Golden West College, her second year at Martin Methodist was better than the first. While as a junior she scored 4 goals and made two assists in 21 matches, as a senior she scored 21 goals (being the team top goalscorer) and made 8 assists in 20 matches.[3] She finished her college career as a player in late 2015, but continued in the RedHawks as a volunteer assistant during the 2016 season.[8]

Munoz played for United Women's Soccer team FC Indiana in 2017.[9] She signed with Puerto Rico Sol in July 2018.[6] There, she was reassigned as a defender.

Munoz played for the Guatemala national team during the 2016 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship.[10]
Beach soccer
In February 2023, Munoz was called up to the United States national team and once again on October 9, 2025 and March 13, 2026.[11][12] During this time, she was unable to make her debut as her previous official soccer appearances for Guatemala forced her to ask permission to FIFA first.
On March 16, 2026, Munoz's request to her switch international allegiance to the United States was approved by FIFA.[13]
