Heyman, who was born south of Sydney, started at Sydney FC in 2008 , but only made three appearances in the first season. As fourth of the league round Sydney then lost in the semifinals, in which Heyman did not participate in the penalty shootout against Queensland Roar. After the season she moved to the Central Coast Mariners . The women's team from a northern suburb of Sydney, set up only a year earlier, was in second place in the table at the end of the season. In 2009 they moved into the play-offs for the first time. In the semifinals, the team met Brisbane Roar , the former Queensland Roar. At home, the Central Coast Mariners lost 0-1 to the Brisbane Roars. Heyman, who had previously scored 11 goals in 11 league games and was the best goalscorer of the season and player of the year, could only attract attention with a yellow card . Due to a lack of funds, the club ended its involvement in women's football after the season and stopped playing.

Heyman then moved to the capital club Canberra United . With Canberra the league round was completed in third and Heyman was the second best goalscorer of the season with eight goals. In the playoff semi-finals they met Brisbane Roar. In a turbulent game, she scored the goal in the 97th minute to make it 2-2. The game was not over yet, a penalty shoot-out had to decide on the final. Heyman, who was substituted in the 111th minute, was not one of the shooters, but only one of two players from Brisbane missed the goal. Canberra was eliminated. Canberra finished the 2011/12 season in 1st place, with Heyman as the best scorer of the season with 15 goals. In the semifinals against Melbourne Victory she also scored the 1-0 winning goal and made it into the final. In the Grand Final against long-term rivals from Queensland, she made two goals at 3-2 for the first final triumph of the capital city.

This made her attractive to European clubs and during the break in the Australian league she went to Denmark for five months . There she played for Brøndby IF u. a. in the 2011/12 UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals against defending champions Olympique Lyon . Both games in March 2012 were lost 4-0. In the 2012/13 season she then scored only two goals in 11 games for Canberra and Canberra missed the playoffs in fifth. In the following season, she was one of the top three goalscorers with seven goals in 11 games, which was instrumental in ensuring that Canberra finished the season in first place. In the semi-finals of the playoffs against the Queenslanders, however, they went empty-handed and Canberra lost 2-1. In 2014, she then ensured with six goals in the league round that Canberra again advanced to the Grand Final. In the 3-1 win against Perth Glory , she came away empty-handed, but she was Australian champion for the second time.

At the beginning of July 2015 she switched to the NWSL participant Western New York Flash . After one season, she returned to Canberra, where she stayed until 2018 before moving to Adelaide United .

National team

Her performance in the W-League made her interesting for national coach Tom Sermanni . On March 3, 2010 she was substituted in for the first time in the game against North Korea for the national team. But she was not nominated for the 2011 World Cup . Until the 2014 Asian women's soccer championship , for which she was nominated again, she had scored four goals in 13 other international matches. In the championship, in which Australia could not defend the title, she was used in two group games as well as the semifinals and final, but she remained without a goal. With the semi-finals, Australia had already qualified for the 2015 World Cup.

In March 2015, she took part with Australia in the Cyprus Cup 2015 , where she was in the starting line-up in all four games and in the 6: 2 game for fifth place against the Czech Republic, the meanwhile 4: 1. On May 12, 2015 she was nominated for the 2015 Australian World Cup squad . With a height of 1.80 m, she was the tallest player in the Australian squad. In the last test match before the World Cup, she scored three goals in the 11-0 win against Vietnam in the first half and was then optimistic that Australia could win the World Cup. At the World Cup she was used in the five games, where she was substituted three times and twice. She couldn't score a goal. In the quarter-finals they were eliminated by a 1-0 defeat against defending champions Japan.

At the 2016 Olympic Games she was used in the four games, in the quarterfinals she was eliminated on penalties against hosts Brazil , where she was one of the successful Australian shooters.

It was nominated for the 2018 Asian Women's Football Championship , but was not used. In May 2019, she announced her resignation from the national team after she was not nominated for the 2019 World Cup due to injury.
