Lawes first came into the spotlight in 2008 when she won the Canadian Junior championship. Her team went on to represent Canada at the World Juniors, where her team won bronze.
2009 was another great season for the Lawes team. They once again represented Manitoba at the Canadian Juniors, where they defended their title and once again represented Canada at the World Juniors. This time they improved their placing, taking home a silver medal In addition to their great showing in junior competitions, the Lawes team also played well on the World Curling Tour, making the semi-finals in a Grand Slam event, the Casinos of Winnipeg Women's Curling Classic.
After Juniors, Lawes teamed up to play third for Cathy King who was needing a third after Lori Olson left the team to play for Crystal Webster.
Following the 2009–10 curling season, Team King decided to step back from the game for a while, leaving Lawes without a team to play for. Shortly after, it was announced that Team Jennifer Jones had dropped third Cathy Overton-Clapham, and had replaced her with Lawes, in time for the 2010–11 curling season. For the first half of the 2012/13 season, Lawes skipped the team, with Kirsten Wall throwing third, as Jones was expecting her first child and sat out until January.
