She qualified for her first Hearts by winning the 1994 Saskatchewan women's championship, defeating Leanne Whitrow in the final, 7–4.[2] At the 1994 Scott Tournament of Hearts, her team lost in the semi-final. Anderson won her second provincial title in 1995, defeating Michelle Schneider (Englot) in the final, 7–5.[3] At the 1995 Scott Tournament of Hearts, she finished out of the playoffs with a 6-5 record. At the 2000 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Anderson was the alternate for June Campbell. Anderson skipped one of the top teams in the country in the late 90s, but wasn't able to win a provincial championship again until 2002. In the meantime, she qualified for the 2001 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials by being the top earning women's team in 1999–2000 season.[4] At the Trials, she made it to the finals, before losing to Kelley Law. Anderson returned to the Scotts as a skip at the 2002 Scott Tournament of Hearts. There, her team of Kim Hodson, Sandra Mulroney and Donna Gignac lost in the final to Colleen Jones. Two years later, Anderson finished 7-4 at the 2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts. In 2004, Anderson was awarded the Marj Mitchell Sportsmanship Award at the Tournament of Hearts.

In 2010, Anderson joined team Stefanie Lawton to play as her third. She played with Lawton until 2014, at which point she took over the team for one season.

Anderson reached the final of the 2016 Canadian Senior Curling Championships, and since then has won a record five-straight times; in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. She won a gold medal for Canada at the 2018, 2019 and 2023 World Senior Curling Championships.[5][1]
