Early life

Chudowsky grew up in Westport, Connecticut, where she played high school soccer at Staples High School.[2] She primarily played attacking midfielder in high school.[3] She scored 16 goals as a freshman in 2022 while helping lead Staples to the Class LL state title, earning second-team all-state honors.[2] She scored twice in the state semifinals and had the opening goal in the 4–1 final win over Cheshire.[4][5] She was named first-team all-state in both of the following seasons, racking up 62 goals and 59 assists in her high school career, and returning twice to the state semifinals.[6][7] She committed to play college soccer for Duke before her junior year.[8] She opted out of her senior season to prepare for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup by training with National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Gotham FC and the New York Soccer Club boys' team.[9]

International career

Chudowsky represented her mother's country, the Dominican Republic, at the 2022 CONCACAF Girls' U-15 Championship.[2] Her performances attracted attention from the United States Soccer Federation, leading to call-ups with the United States under-15 team.[2] She started all three of the under-17 team's games during 2025 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship qualification.[9] She was then named to the roster for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, playing in two games.[10]

Personal life

Chudowsky is the daughter of Walter Chudowsky and Elena Perez-Chudowsky and has an older sister.[2] She is of Dominican descent through her mother.[2] Her father played college soccer for Columbia, and her sister, Evelyn, plays for Cornell and was also a Dominican Republic youth international.[11]
