Davidovich was born on March 24, 1997, in Burlington, Vermont. She grew up in New Jersey and holds both United States and Israeli citizenship.

She skated at the Essex Skating Club in West Orange, New Jersey. In 2008 she paired with Ivan Gyliaev, and in 2009 they won the Juvenile Duet at the U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase.

In spring 2013 she teamed up with Israeli skater Evgeni Krasnopolski under coach Gennadi Krasnitski in Hackensack, New Jersey. Their tenth place at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy gave Israel its first pairs entry at an Olympics. They won the 2013 Golden Spin of Zagreb and finished 15th at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The pair split after the Olympics. The Israel Ice Skating Federation refused to release her to compete for the United States, and in 2015 a New Jersey court ordered it to do so. She later studied computer science at New York University.
