Moxley was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of four children of Jennifer Moxley. She played two seasons of high school soccer for Panther Creek High School, earning all-region honors as a freshman and sophomore. She played club soccer for the NC Courage Academy.
Moxley featured at forward in her freshman season with the UNC Wilmington Seahawks in 2019. She scored twice in her first two games and was named Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Offensive Player of the Week. She finished her freshman season with 5 goals and a team-best 8 assists in 17 games, earning conference all-rookie honors. She then transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill but did not play soccer during the 2020 season, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moxley began playing for the North Carolina Tar Heels as a junior in 2021. She started all 18 games at defender or midfielder and led the team with 6 assists. In her senior season in 2022, she played in all 26 games, started the last 20, and registered 8 assists, helping North Carolina to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) regular-season title. In the ACC tournament, she scored the winning penalty in a semifinal shootout against Duke and assisted Avery Patterson's opener in a loss to Florida State in the final. She played every minute of the NCAA tournament, assisting Julia Dorsey's game winner against Florida State in the semifinals and assisting Patterson in a loss to UCLA in the title game. She started all 23 games and made 4 assists in her graduate season in 2023.
Moxley was not selected in the 2024 NWSL Draft but was invited to train with the Orlando Pride in the 2024 preseason. On May 22, 2024, she signed with hometown club Carolina Ascent ahead of the USL Super League's inaugural season.
