Early life
Whyman is of Indigenous Australian heritage, with ancestry from the Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta peoples.[1] Whyman grew up in Wagga Wagga before moving to Canberra and later Sydney, where she attended Westfields Sports High School.[2] She travelled from Wagga Wagga to both Sydney and Canberra regularly until late 2013 when she moved to the Australian Capital Territory.[3]
Playing career
Club
Whyman's first club in Sydney was Macarthur Rams, joining the club in 2013 whilst still living in Wagga Wagga.[4]
In August 2015, Whyman signed to play for Western Sydney Wanderers in the 2015–16 W-League.[5] Midway through the season, she suffered a torn thigh in a game against Newcastle Jets, causing her to miss much of the season.[6] She made seven appearances in her debut season for the Wanderers.[7]

Whyman was first called up to the Australian under-17 team in 2013 for the 2013 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, aged thirteen.[8]
