Following a senior season which saw her average 13.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, Forbes transferred to the University of Southern California for the 2023-24 season.

During her graduate season, Forbes led the Trojans to their first Pac-12 Tournament championship and scored 26 points in the title game to garner the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player honors. She was named to the 2024 All-Pac 12 Team after averaging 14.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game while shooting .374 from three.

After being waived by the Sparks at the end of training camp in 2024, Forbes went on to play professionally in Australia and New Zealand.
