Raised in Hensall, Ontario, Morey was a gold-medalist with Canada’s National Women’s Under-22 Team at the 2000 Nations Cup, contested in Füssen, Germany. A former competitor for the Brown Bears women's ice hockey and field hockey programs, Morey was the winner of the Ivy League Rookie of the Year Award for field hockey in 1999. As a field hockey competitor, she led the team in both goals (15) and points (38) during the 2000 season. In addition, she would earn Second Team Regional All-American recognition for her efforts in the 2000 season. As of 2015, Morey ranked fifth all-time in goals (27) and sixth overall in points (66) among Brown Bears field hockey competitors.

In her final ice hockey season with the Brown Bears, she registered 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 28 games played, including three power play goals and one game-winning goal, respectively. During her time as a member of the ice hockey team, the Bears qualified for three AWCHA National Championship Tournament appearances.

Upon graduation, she played two seasons in the original NWHL, spending her first season with the Montreal Wingstar and her second season with the Brampton Thunder.

While her husband, former NFL player Sean Morey, competed for the Pittsburgh Steelers, she was a coach at Robert Morris University in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. In addition, she would spend time as a coach with the Phoenix Lady Coyotes U-19 AAA team. Her involvement with the team was attributed to her husband joining the Arizona Cardinals later in his career.
