Lewis was born in Subiaco and raised in Wellard WA and was signed by the Fever ahead of the 2019 season.[1] The defender grew up playing netball for the Rockingham District Netball Association before moving to Coastal Sharks academy in Western Australia and won national MVP awards at under 17 and 19 levels. Prior to being picked up by the Fever, she was MVP for the club's reserves team, the Western Sting in the Australian Netball League.[3]

She made her Suncorp super netball debut in round 1 of 2019 against Adelaide Thunderbirds, replacing the injured Courtney Bruce, and subsequently was her replacement over the next 3 weeks until Bruce returned fit.

A promising first season saw her take to the court 9 times and culminated in her being selected in the 2019 Australian Development squad.
