Growing up in Altamonte Springs, Florida, Fotopoulos demonstrated her athletic prowess early on, excelling in six different sports during her high school years and leading her soccer team to three state championships. Her collegiate career was stellar; after transferring to the University of Florida from Southern Methodist University, she overcame an ACL injury to lead the Gators to the 1998 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. Fotopoulos left an indelible mark on college soccer, setting NCAA Division I records for goals and points and earning numerous accolades, including the Honda Sports Award for Soccer in 1998–99.

In her professional career, Fotopoulos continued to shine. She played for the Carolina Courage, contributing to their league championship win in 2002. She was also a proud member of the United States national team that clinched the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. Her soccer career also led her to coaching, where she shared her knowledge and passion for the game with the next generation. Serving as the head coach of the Eckerd College women's soccer team until 2022, and in various roles at the Tampa Bay United Soccer Club and Florida Premier FC, Fotopoulos has dedicated herself to developing young talent. Balancing her family life with four children and her marriage to George Fotopoulos, she remains committed to soccer, both on and off the field.
