Career

McDonald began her junior curling career in the 2011–12 on team Kelsey Rocque. She won gold representing Canada at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships during her final season with the team.[1]

For the 2014–15 season, McDonald joined team Chelsea Carey at second, with Laura Crocker as third and Jen Gates as lead. McDonald appeared in her first Grand Slam of Curling event, the 2014 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic. She was reunited with her old skip Kelsey Rocque for 2015–16 season, with the remainder of the team remaining the same. The team won the 2016 CIS/CCA Curling Championships in 2016 with the University of Alberta, qualifying them for the 2017 Winter Universiade. The team made the decision to miss the 2017 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts to participate in the Universiade.[2] The team won gold at the Universiade, beating out Russia's Victoria Moiseeva 8–3 in the final.[3]

In March 2018, McDonald announced she was joining a Winnipeg-based team skipped by Allison Flaxey, with third Kate Cameron and lead Raunora Westcott.
