Wallam, a Noongar woman, grew up Korijekup (Harvey), a small rural town two hours south of Perth.
Wallam's rapid development led to her being offered a 2021 Super Netball training partner contract with the West Coast Fever.
[2] Wallam moved to England in 2021 to play for Leeds Rhinos in the Netball Superleague but in her second game broke her arm.
[3][4] These performances led to Wallam being named in the Australian Diamonds Squad for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and went to Birmingham as one of three travelling reserves.
[6] This resulted in meetings between Netball Australia, Diamonds players and Hancock Prospecting and led to extensive media coverage.
