Farquharson was born and raised in Dalby, Queensland to a mother from Papua New Guinea and an Australian father.[4] She attended Concordia Lutheran College throughout her upbringing.[5]
She played for Yeronga South Brisbane in the AFL Queensland Women's League before being drafted by Brisbane with the 8th pick in the 2020 AFL Women's draft.
After spending the 2021 season on the Lions' list without making her debut, she played her first AFLW game in round 3 of 2022 season 6 in the Lions' win against Carlton at Carrara Stadium.[6] For her debut, she received a nomination for the 2022 AFL Women's season 6 Rising Star.[7]
She spent the 2023 season on the inactive list, citing the intensity of AFLW training demands as she began an apprenticeship outside of football.[8] Following that season, she was traded to the Western Bulldogs in exchange for pick 41.[9]
At the end of the 2025 AFL Women's season she was delisted by the Western Bulldogs, having played two games for the club.[10]
