Wojta played college basketball at Wisconsin-Green Bay, where she was a Wade Trophy and Wooden Award finalist, Horizon League tournament MVP, and a second-team All-America pick.[2]

Wojta was drafted by the Minnesota Lynx, but cut after the 2012 training camp. She signed a contract to play with Dexia Namur in Belgium.[3] In July, Wojta was brought back to the Lynx on a short-term contract to provide depth after a series of injuries.[4]

Wotja made her WNBA regular-season debut on July 12, 2012, grabbing two rebounds in limited play.[5] She was waived by the team in August, once the injured players returned to the team.[6]

In 2013, Wojta was invited to training camp with the San Antonio Silver Stars, but was cut prior to the season. She was re-signed on June 5, 2013, to provide depth due to injuries.[7] She made her debut with the Silver Stars on June 7, playing briefly in a win over the Chicago Sky.[8]
