Sedona started her career with Texas for her freshman year before transferring to Oregon for 2019-20 season onwards. She graduated from Oregon in 2022 and joined TCU for 2023-2025.

In the latest college basketball season, she led TCU's Horned Frogs to program's first ever Elite Eight stage.

Sedona, however, was instrumental in getting the women's teams financial rewards for participation in NCAA tournament. Her post on gender equity in 2021 tournament led to NCAA-commissioned report reviewing gender equity which eventually culminated in women’s teams in the NCAA tournament getting individual revenue share. She is also the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit which will secure money for the college athletes.

The baller, however, has been involved in some controversies as well. Four women have accused her of misconduct and two out of those allegations are about sexual misconduct. Two of her former partners have also alleged physical abuse charge against the 6-foot-7 player from Texas.

Sedona's age may have also played a role in her going undrafted. In a chat with ESPN, an anonymous GM was reported saying: She's like a 24-year-old playing against, what, sometimes 18-year-olds?" the GM told ESPN. "She's older than some W players. And so it's just hard to tell, 'Are you that good, or are you just dominating people that are, like, literally, four and five years younger than you?'"
