Career

Boyd came to prominence in 2017, when she was selected by Canada for the 2017 World Junior Championships in Wales, known as the IIBC Championships.[2] She won the Under-25 mixed doubles gold medal at the Championships.[1] She later moved to live in Australia and joined the Tweed Heads BC.[3]

In 2023, she was selected as part of the team to represent Canada at the blue riband event of the sport, the 2023 World Outdoor Bowls Championship.[4] She participated in the women's triples and the women's fours events.[5][6] In the fours, Boyd qualified in second place in her group before being eliminated in the quarter final after losing to Scotland.[7] One week later in the triples partnering Joanna Cooper and Baylee van Steijn, the team won a bronze medal after losing to New Zealand in the semi finals.
