She earned Gulf South Conference honor roll all three years in the classroom and was a starting midfielder on the field. Mauzy-Fleming was a team captain during her senior season and also served on her school's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). She began her playing career at Eastern Florida State College.

Mauzy-Fleming gained coaching experience as a head coach of a youth soccer club team, an assistant coach at Berkshire Soccer Academy during the summer of 2016 and through an internship with the women's soccer program at Mississippi College. She joined Averett’s coaching staff in July 2017.
