Reese was born in Randallstown, Maryland and attended high school at Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore. After making a name for herself as a top high school athlete, she committed to play college basketball for the Maryland Terrapins.  She played two seasons at Maryland and ultimately finished her college career at LSU, before being drafted by the Sky in 2024.

Reese is fresh off a monster rookie season with the Sky where she posted 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Before suffering a season-ending wrist injury, the rookie was leading the WNBA in average rebounds, while being the only rookie to average double-double.  Despite Reese’s elite play during her rookie season, the Sky fell short of a WNBA playoff appearance. They finished the year as the No. 10 team in the WNBA standings with a 13-27 record.
