Reese was born in Randallstown, located in Baltimore County, Maryland. She played high school ball at Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore before leaving school for the University of Maryland. Reese transferred to LSU in 2022 and won the national title during his first year in Baton Rouge.

"I'm the Baltimore Barbie before I'm the Bayou Barbie," Reese told Noah Trister of the Associated Press in December, when her team visited Baltimore to take on Coppin State.

The Sky selected Reese with the seventh overall pick in this year's draft. Reese has averaged 10.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game thus far.
