Long was born in the United States to an American father and Filipino mother. In June 2016, Long joined a training camp by the Philippine national team. She was then selected to be part of the Philippine squad to participate at the 2016 AFF Women's Championship in Myanmar.[7] This was the first time that a Trojans player competed on a senior national team.[14] She also played at the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualifiers in April 2017 scoring a hat-trick in the match against Tajikistan.[15] The team managed to secure qualification for the final tournament in Jordan.
