Dellarose was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Melinda and Ron Dellarose, and has two older siblings.[2] Her father played college baseball at Duquesne.[2] She was raised in Grindstone, Pennsylvania.[2]
Dellarose played three seasons of high school soccer for Brownsville High School, where she captained the team and set a school record with 108 career goals.[2] She committed to the University of North Carolina as a sophomore in August 2019.[3] She sat out her senior high school season to play with her club squad, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds's academy team, and the youth national team.[4] She played for Racing Louisville of the amateur USL W League in the summer of 2022 and returned in 2024.[5][6]
Dellarose began playing as a left back for the North Carolina Tar Heels in the fall of 2022.[7] On her first day of preseason training, she set a team record in the beep test (multi-stage fitness test) by reaching level 57, a mark she surpassed the next year at 63.[4][8] She started almost every game as a freshman, receiving All-ACC third team and ACC All-Freshman honors, and helped North Carolina reach the 2022 NCAA championship game.[9] She appeared in every game as a sophomore and started three.[2]
Dellarose was called into training camp with the United States national under-16 team in 2020 and the under-20 team the following year.[10][11] She appeared in all five games at the 2023 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, where the United States finished runners-up.[9]
