She played her senior season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla after playing her first three seasons at La Jolla Country Day. She is a five-star prospect and is ranked No. 25 overall and the eighth-ranked guard by espnW HoopGurlz.
"Taj emerged as one of the best guards in the country as her stock continued to rise after her consistent performances on the summer circuit," said head coach Jeff Walz back in November. "Her work ethic, determination and confidence was showcased in July as she was a big part in helping her club team win the Nike National Championship. Taj has great size, and in addition to her ability to attack the rim, her range is unlimited on the perimeter! Her length and agility will aid in being a menace on the defensive side of the ball as well."
This past September, she guided Team South to a championship at the 2023 Nike World Basketball Festival.
In her junior season at La Jolla, she led them to their third CIF title in four years and earned a top five national ranking by Max Preps. She averaged 14 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists a game in her junior season with La Jolla.
