Pavan began her volleyball career at the age of ten. Under the guidance of her father, she played on the school team at the Forest Heights Collegiate Institute and in her hometown for the Kitchener Waterloo Predators club. As a 14-year-old, she joined the Canadian youth team. In 2003 she finally made her debut in the senior national team at the 2003 Volleyball World Grand Prix . This made her Canada's youngest national player. In 2004 she reached fourth place with the team at the NORCECA championship . That same year, Pavan also began her education at the University of Nebraska . There she played in the university team of the Huskers. After completing her studies, she went to the Italian first division club Zoppas Industries Conegliano in 2008 . Two years later, the diagonal attacker moved to Korea Expressway in South Korea.

From 2015 to 2017, Pavan played volleyball for Shanghai in China . Then she returned to Italy to Pomi Casalmaggiore .

Career beach volleyball

Since the Canadian national volleyball team never qualified for the Olympics , Pavan also opted for beach volleyball after watching the 2012 Olympic tournament in London. Since 2013 she has formed a duo with Heather Bansley . In their first Grand Slam on the World Tour , Pavan / Bansley finished ninth in Corrientes . In contrast, they finished the next two Grand Slams in the rear. At the 2013 World Championships in Stare Jabłonki they reached the first main round as second in the group, which they lost in the tiebreak against the Austrians Hansel / Schützenhöfer . Fifth in the Grand Slam in Long Beach , they achieved their best result of their first year together. They achieved the same result at the start of the 2014 World Tour at the Prague Open. After three 17th places in a row, they were also fifth at the Grand Slam in Gstaad . They achieved further top ten placements as ninth in Klagenfurt and fifth in Stare Jabłonki.

They opened the 2015 season with fifth place in Fuzhou . Then they reached a final of an FIVB tournament for the first time at the Prague Open and were defeated by the Brazilians Ágatha / Bárbara . Shortly afterwards they were also in the final of the Poreč Major. This time they had to admit defeat to Larissa / Talita . At the World Cup in the Netherlands , they came second in the group to the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated against Antonelli / Juliana . This was followed by two third places at the Gstaad Major and the Grand Slam in Yokohama and Pavan / Bansley also stayed in the top ten at the other FIVB tournaments of the year. They finished fourth at the World Tour Final in Fort Lauderdale . On the World Tour 2016 they finished fifth in Rio de Janeiro and third in Moscow and ninth several times. In Poreč they reached the final for the second time in a row; this time they lost against the German duo Laboureur / Sude . As the third best team in the Olympic rankings, they qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . There they stayed in the preliminary round and in the second round without losing a set, before they had to admit defeat to the later Olympic champions Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst in the quarter-finals . After the Olympics, Pavan and Bansley split.

Pavan has been playing with Melissa Humana-Paredes since 2017 . Without exception, the two Canadians had top ten placements on the World Tour . The win at the 5-star tournament in Poreč was outstanding. At the World Cup in Vienna , Pavan / Humana-Paredes reached the semi-finals after six wins without losing a set, in which they lost 2-1 to the Americans Ross / Fendrick . In the game for third place they were also defeated by the Brazilians Larissa / Talita with 1: 2. They also came fourth at the World Tour Final in Hamburg.

On the 2017/18 World Tour , Pavan / Humana-Paredes were initially fifth in Fort Lauderdale . Then they won the tournaments in Xiamen (four stars) and Gstaad (five stars) and achieved further top ten results. At the World Tour Final 2018 they came in seventh place. At the World Tour 2018/19 they reached the finals in Las Vegas and Itapema (four stars each). There were also a fourth and two fifth places. At the 2019 World Cup in Hamburg , the Canadians became world champions with a victory in the final against the Americans Alexandra Klineman and April Ross and thus won the first World Cup medal for their country.
