Wu started her active career at the age of four in the Sherwood Park Soccer Association. She ran for a total of six years for the Sherwood Park Soccer Association before joining the Ottawa Furys in 2000. There Wu played in his youth alongside the later women's Bundesliga players Mélissa Busque , Tiffany Cameron , Christina Julien , Christabel Oduro and Kylla Sjoman . During this time she represented Team Alberta at the Canada Summer Games 2007 in Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory as team captain and was elected to the All-Star Team during these games.

There she was able to convince the trainer Jürgen Prüfer and signed a one-year contract on August 7, 2014. After she came to 21 games for Herford in the Bundesliga and the club was relegated at the end of the 2014/15 season, Wu briefly returned to the Laval Comets. A little later she signed the Bundesliga relegated MSV Duisburg . After 52 games for MSV Duisburg in the 2nd Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, she signed a two-year contract with league rivals SGS Essen at the end of May 2018 .
