She is best known for winning the 1998 Scott Tournament of Hearts and going on to place third at the subsequent World Championships behind Elisabet Gustafson's team from Sweden and Helena Blach Lavrsen's team from Denmark. She was also national junior champion in 1978 and 1979. She has been in six Scott Tournament of Hearts (1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002 and 2005). At the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, she finished with a 6-5 round-robin record, then lost in a tie-breaker to Ontario's Jenn Hanna.
