Hewitt already took part in the Canadian Games with the relay in 2002 and won the silver medal. In the next few years she started in a number of other national competitions, but was rarely in the top ten until the 2005/06 season. It was not until the Canadian Championship in 2006 that she convinced and, in fourth place over 1000 meters, narrowly missed an individual medal. A year later, she even won an internal elimination race on this track , but she was initially denied the jump to the highest competition class, the Short Track World Cup . With consistent results in the winter of 2007/08, she placed eighth in the Canadian rankings, which was the first time she was nominated for the World Cup in the 2008/09 season . There she achieved a tenth place in the first race over 1000 meters, with the relay she even reached third place. While she was able to confirm the relay result in the two subsequent World Cups - once as third, the second time as fourth - she slipped to the lower ranks in the individual races, so that she was no longer used from the fourth station. At the World Championships in Sheffield she won bronze with the relay. In the World Cup after that in Debrecen , she won silver with the relay and also at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , which she succeeded again in the following World Cup in Montreal .
