St-Georges was selected in the third round (20th overall) by the Chicago Red Stars in the 2019 NWSL College Draft, being the only Canadian player to be drafted.[6] However, her rookie season was delayed until the following year, as she suffered a meniscus tear in her knee.[7][8] She made her debut for Chicago Red Stars on June 28, 2020, against the Washington Spirit in the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.[9] She scored her first professional goal and assist came in the Challenge Cup Semi-final against Sky Blue FC on July 23, 2020,[10][11] and helped the Red Stars reach the final,[12][13] where they ultimately finished second. In 2021, the Red Stars finished as runner-ups in the 2021 NWSL playoffs.[14]
In January 2024, St-Georges signed a two-year contract with the North Carolina Courage.[15] She scored two goals in her Courage debut against the Houston Dash in March 2024.[16]
St.Georges began playing with the Canada U17 team at the 2013 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship, helping them to win the silver medal and subsequently at the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[17]
She also was a part of the Canada U20 team U-20 team that won silver at the 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship and played at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[18]
She was invited to the Canadian senior team camp for the first time in February 2021.[19] However, during the camp she suffered a meniscus tear in her knee (the opposite knee from her previous injury in 2019).[20] She made her debut for the Canadian senior team on June 11, 2021, in a friendly against the Czech Republic.[21] She was one of the final cuts from the team ahead of the 2020 Olympics (held in 2021), where Canada won gold.[22]
