In three seasons with Internacional, she made 88 appearances, scoring 10 goals and 15 assists, and won two Gauchão state titles and one Ladies Cup.[1][3]

The Washington Spirit announced on January 9, 2025, that the club had signed Bolt on a one-year deal with options to extend another two years.[4] Her contract option for the 2026 season was picked up on June 25, 2025.[5]

Dallas Trinity (loan)

On February 7, 2025, the Spirit announced that Bolt and teammate Deborah Abiodun would be loaned for the year to Dallas Trinity for an undisclosed fee.[6] Bolt's first USL Super League goal came five minutes into a 3–1 win against Lexington SC on April 26.[7] On May 31, she assisted Allie Thornton in the season finale against the Carolina Ascent, a 2–1 win that clinched a playoff berth for Trinity.[8]
