Curling career
Juniors
Schmidt made her first national curling debut skipping at the 2007 Canada Winter Games.[5] Schmidt and team would finish 4th overall. The following year she would skip her team to another provincial title, representing Saskatchewan at the 2008 Canadian Junior Curling Championships women's event. Her team would have success at the event finishing with a round robin record of 8-4. This was good enough to get the team into a tiebreaker situation. They would win two tiebreakers, before meeting Nova Scotia in the semi-final. After an 8-7 win, the team would move onto the final where they would meet Manitoba's Kaitlyn Lawes. After a well played game the team would claim a silver medal in the event, losing by a single point.[6]
Schmidt would be part of the 2nd all-star team at the championship.[7]
2010–current
Schmidt would move to Nova Scotia for the 2010-11 curling season, where she would join Mary-Anne Arsenault's squad. The team would compete in the 2011 Nova Scotia Scotties Tournament of Hearts. They would go through round robin with a 5-2 record, which was enough to secure second place. They would lose the semi-final to Heather Smith-Dacey who would go onto win a bronze medal at the National championship.[8] A year later at the 2012 Nova Scotia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team would finish round robin with a 4-3 record, which was enough to secure a tiebreaker. The team would end up losing the tiebreaker to Colleen Pinkney.[9]
At the end of the 2011-12 season, Schmidt was dropped by Arsenault who teamed up with former teammate Colleen Jones.[10] Schmidt was expected to join the team as the alternate player, but instead joined Heather Smith-Dacey as her new third.[11]
Schmidt returned to Saskatchewan to join the Stefanie Lawton rink for the 2014–15 curling season.
Personal life
Schmidt currently lives in Regina, Saskatchewan. She is married to Canadian curler Aryn Schmidt.[12]
