Career

Youth

Dodds played second for the Hannah Fleming junior rink that won a silver medal at the 2013 World Junior Curling Championships. While attending Edinburgh College, Dodds played on Fleming's team at the 2013 Winter Universiade, placing fourth.

Women's

Dodds left the Fleming rink in 2014, playing third for Lauren Gray for two seasons. The team won the 2015 Dumfries Challenger Series event on the World Curling Tour. In 2016, she returned to the Fleming rink as her third. The team won the 2018 Scottish Women's Curling Championship and defeated the Eve Muirhead Olympic team for the right to represent Scotland at the 2018 Ford World Women's Curling Championship. There, the team missed the playoffs with a 5–7 record.

For the 2018–19 season, Dodds joined the Muirhead rink as third. At the first leg of the 2018–19 Curling World Cup, Dodds skipped the team due to Muirhead having a hip injury.[1] They finished in sixth with a 2–4 record.[2] She played in her first European Curling Championships at the 2018 European Curling Championships. There, the team had a disappointing performance, finishing with a 4–5 record, missing the playoffs.[3] At the 2019 Scottish Women's Curling Championships, the team qualified for the final but lost to Sophie Jackson 11–7.[4] In Grand Slam play, the team qualified for the playoffs in two of their three events with their best finish being at the Canadian Open where they lost in the semifinals.

Team Muirhead began the 2019–20 season by winning the 2019 Cameron's Brewing Oakville Fall Classic.[5] At the 2019 European Curling Championships, the Muirhead rink reached the final where they lost to Sweden's Anna Hasselborg, claiming the silver medal.[6] In early January, they won the Mercure Perth Masters.[7] Team Muirhead claimed the 2020 Scottish Women's Curling Championship by defeating Maggie Wilson 8–3 in the championship game.[8] The team was set to represent Scotland at the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship before the event got cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10] In Grand Slam play, they played in three events and qualified in one of them, the 2019 National where they lost in the quarterfinals to Jennifer Jones.[11]

Personal life

Before becoming a full-time curler, Dodds worked as an office assistant. [12] Her cousin Abigail Brown won the 2012 World Junior championships.[13]
