After an appearance at the 1997 Canadian Junior Championships, she would go on to win the 2000 Championships with the help of her team of sister Marliese Miller (third), Stacy Helm (second) and Amanda MacDonald (lead). At the worlds that year, she would win the silver medal behind Matilda Mattsson of Sweden. In 2001, Lawton (then known as Stefanie Miller) went on to be undefeated at the Junior championships, only to lose to Prince Edward Island's Suzanne Gaudet. Four years later, Lawton returned to the curling scene by becoming the Saskatchewan women's champion and, as such, going to the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts. Her team of her sister Marliese, Sherri Singler and Chelsey Bell finished the round-robin in third place but lost to Ontario in the 3-4 playoff game.

Lawton won her second Canada Cup in 2010, defeating Olympic silver medalist Cheryl Bernard in the final.

2012 Has been one of Lawton's best curling years to date. She wrapped up the 2011-12 curling season by winning the 2012 Players' Championship.
