Her maternal grandparents have Chinese Indonesian ancestry.[5] She was interested in playing soccer since the age of 6, which then led her to sign up for Tulsa SC, a youth soccer developmental team that competes in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).[6][7]

International career
[edit source]Born in the United States, Hopper decided to represent Indonesia at the international level.[10] On July 5, 2024, Secretary General of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) Yunus Nusi revealed that Hopper had obtained an Indonesian passport, so she did not need a naturalization process.[11]
