From Monrovia, California, Wiesner if one of seven current college players to be called up for U-23 camp. She has previously rostered at the U-15, U-17 and U-19 levels.
She has served as co-captain of the U-17 National Team, and in 2016 she was a member of the squad that competed in the U-17 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers in Grenada and the U-17 World Cup in Jordan.
