She was an immediate impact player as a sophomore, claiming a .372 batting average and recording 21 extra-base hits across 51 total hits during the 2018 season.
She would go on to hit a career-best ten home runs during the 2019 season and finished her Fresno State career with a .329 batting average over her four seasons with the Bulldogs, earning two All-Mountain West honors, including a First-Team selection in 2018, and two All-NFCA All-Region nods, including a Second-Team mention in 2019.
She appeared in 43 games with four starts at Oklahoma State as a freshman in 2017. Galvan spent her high school playing days in the state of Oklahoma, where she starred at Sequoyah HS, lettering all four years and earning Team MVP nods in 2015 and 2016 and three All-Phoenix Team selections (2013-15).
