She is the sister of former Socceroos player Bernie Ibini-Isei (who last played for Lion City Sailors). Ibini has two older brothers, Bernie and Joshua, as well as one younger brother Pharrell.

Having trained with the Sydney FC since she was 12 years old, Ibini made her debut with the team at just 15 years of age. She was nominated as the NAB Young Footballer of the Month for January 2016.[4] In August 2025, Ibini announced her departure from Sydney FC, having made 160 league appearances, including eight grand finals.[5]
