Fresh from NSW victory over Queensland in a first-of-its-kind match, the second-rower was then named in the inaugural Australian women's side at number 12.
The NSW women's team defeated Queensland 10-4 in the inaugural police Origin game at Leichhardt Oval on June 10.
NSW led 10-4 at the break in the 60-minute match, scoring two tries to one through Mekilah Acworth and Bianca Wright.
