Club career

Kullashi was born in

She moved to Sweden from Finland when she was five years old,[2] and she grew up in Halmstad.[3] She started playing organised football with Snöstorp Nyhem FF's youth system and moved to AIK in summer 2011. She made her debut for AIK as a 15-year-old, in a Svenska Cupen quarter-final fixture at Umeå IK on 29 March 2015.[4]

She made six appearances in the

FA WSL club Manchester City on trial, but ultimately re-signed for AIK in time for the 2017 season. In July 2017 she transferred to Damallsvenskan club Eskilstuna United.[5]

On her debut appearance for Eskilstuna United, Kullashi scored two goals in a 4–0 home win over

coach for her dribbling abilities.[2]
