==Career== ===Juniors=== Schmiemann started at the [[University of Alberta]] in 2014, joining the [[Alberta Golden Bears and Pandas|Pandas Curling Program]]. She played within the program throughout the entirety of her University Degree and now joins a group of Bears and Pandas alumni, including all three of her current teammates [[Kelsey Rocque]], [[Dana Ferguson]] and [[Rachelle Brown]].
In 2015, Schmiemann joined the [[Kelsey Rocque]] rink of Rocque, Holly Jamieson and Jesse Iles. The team won the Alberta Junior Curling Championship, earning her and her team a berth at the [[2015 Canadian Junior Curling Championships]] in [[Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador]]. There, the team went 9–1 in the round robin giving them a birth to the final, where they won against Ontario's [[Chelsea Brandwood]] 8–2. The team represented [[Canada]] at the [[2015 World Junior Curling Championships]], where they would go undefeated en route to claiming the title. Rocque aged out of juniors following the season and Schmiemann joined the [[Kristen Streifel]] rink at third. The team won one tour event, the [[Crestwood Ladies Fall Classic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Team&eventid=3863&teamid=89123&profileid=|title=Streifel wins 2015 Crestwood Ladies Fall Classic|website=CurlingZone|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref> At the Alberta Junior Provincials, the team lost the semifinal and would not go to the [[2016 Canadian Junior Curling Championships]]. Later that season, Schmiemann played with Rocque and represented the [[Alberta Pandas]] at the [[2016 CIS/CCA Curling Championships]] where they defeated the [[Thompson Rivers WolfPack]] skipped by [[Corryn Brown]] in the final.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Team&eventid=4253&teamid=96099&profileid=|title=2016 CIS/CCA Curling Championships|website=CurlingZone|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref>
===Women's=== Schmiemann chose not to play in her final year of juniors as the 2017 Alberta Junior Provincials and [[Canadian Junior Curling Championships]] conflicted with the [[2017 Winter Universiade]]. Because of this, she began skipping her own team for the [[2016–17 curling season|2016–17 season]]. The team failed to qualify for the playoffs in any tour events. With their win at the 2016 CIS/CCA Curling Championships earlier the previous year, Schmiemann would play with Rocque at the [[Curling at the 2017 Winter Universiade|2017 Winter Universiade]] where they would once again find success winning the gold medal for Canada. She played in the [[U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships]] again in 2018 representing the [[University of Alberta]] where they won the title once again alongside teammates [[Kristen Streifel]], [[Selena Sturmay]], [[Jesse Iles]] and [[Paige Papley]]. This would set them up to represent Canada once again at the [[2019 Winter Universiade]] in [[Krasnoyarsk|Krasnoyarsk, Russia]]. Shortly after this win, Schmiemann would join Rocque as an official team in 2018, with [[Becca Konschuh]] at second and [[Jesse Iles]] at lead. They made the quarterfinals at the [[2018 Tour Challenge|Tour Challenge]] Tier 2 [[Grand Slam of Curling]] event and finished runner-up at the [[2019 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] to [[Chelsea Carey]]. She then played with Streifel at the [[Curling at the 2019 Winter Universiade|2019 Winter Universiade]] where they lost to [[Sophie Jackson]] from [[Great Britain]] in the qualification game. Schmiemann was also chosen to be the flag bearer for the entirety of Team Canada at this Universiade.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ualberta.ca/athletics/teams/curling/curling-news/2019/january/albertas-schmiemann-named-canadian-flag-bearer-for-2019-winter-universiade|title = University of Alberta - Official Athletics Website}}</ref>
Team Rocque had a strong [[2019–20 curling season|2019–20 season]], starting it off with a semifinal finish at the [[2019 Cameron's Brewing Oakville Fall Classic]]. The team qualified for the playoffs at the [[2019 Tour Challenge]] Grand Slam event where they lost to eventual winners [[Anna Hasselborg]]. Going into the [[2020 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts]], Rocque was the number one seeded team, earning their spot through the CTRS points leader berth. They went 6–1 through the round robin, with their only loss to the [[Laura Walker (curler)|Laura Walker]]. They would play Walker again in the 1 vs. 2 game where they lost 7–1. They won the semifinal against [[Krysta Hilker]] 8–1 setting up the third match for Rocque and Walker during the competition. The team struggled during the final, not able to figure out the ice and losing the final for the second consecutive year. It would be the team's last event of the season as both the [[Players' Championship]] and the [[Champions Cup (curling)|Champions Cup]] Grand Slam events were cancelled due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-cancels-remaining-events-of-2019-20-season/|title=GSOC cancels remaining events of 2019–20 season|website=Grand Slam of Curling|date=March 13, 2020|access-date=March 16, 2020|archive-date=May 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530043812/https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/gsoc-cancels-remaining-events-of-2019-20-season/|url-status=dead}}</ref> On March 18, 2020, it was announced that both [[Becca Hebert]] and [[Jesse Marlow (curler)|Jesse Marlow]] would be leaving the team.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.facebook.com/teamrocque/photos/a.222667805058967/519237715401973/?type=3&theater|title=Team Rocque Team Announcement|website=Facebook|date=March 18, 2020|access-date=March 20, 2020}}</ref> Rocque and Schmiemann then announced on March 21 that [[Dana Ferguson]] and [[Rachelle Brown]] would be joining them for the [[2020–21 curling season|2020–21 season]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.facebook.com/teamrocque/posts/521874468471631?__tn__=-R|title=Team Rocque adds Ferguson and Schmiemann|website=Facebook|date=March 21, 2020|access-date=March 22, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/rachel-brown-dana-ferguson-join-kelsey-rocques-team/|title=Rachel Brown, Dana Ferguson join Kelsey Rocque's team|website=Grand Slam of Curling|author=Jonathan Brazeau|date=March 22, 2020|access-date=March 22, 2020|archive-date=March 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200322173508/https://thegrandslamofcurling.com/rachel-brown-dana-ferguson-join-kelsey-rocques-team/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Due to the pandemic, most of the tour events during the 2020–21 season were cancelled. Team Rocque played only one competitive game together during the entire season at the Okotoks Ladies Classic in November. After the first draw, the event was cancelled due to a province-wide shutdown in Alberta.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/okotoks-bonspiel-cancelled-due-to-new-restrictions-in-alberta-1.1551556|title=Okotoks bonspiel cancelled due to new restrictions in Alberta|publisher=TSN|date=November 13, 2020|access-date=August 21, 2021}}</ref> Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta]], the 2021 provincial championship was also cancelled.

In their first event of the [[2021–22 curling season|2021–22 season]], Team Rocque reached the quarterfinals of the [[2021 Alberta Curling Series: Saville Shoot-Out]]. Due to the pandemic, the qualification process for the [[2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]] had to be modified to qualify enough teams for the championship. In these modifications, [[Curling Canada]] created the [[2021 Canadian Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event]], an event where five teams would compete to try to earn one of three spots into the [[2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2021/02/04/2021-trials-process-revised/|title=2021 Trials proceess revised|work=Curling Canada|date=February 4, 2021|access-date=June 26, 2022}}</ref> Team Rocque qualified for the Trials Direct-Entry Event due to their [[CTRS standings|CTRS]] ranking from the 2019–20 season.

There, Sturmay would finish with a 4–3 record, finishing 4th and just missing out on the playoffs. Team Sturmay would continue their success, winning the [[2026 Alberta Women's Curling Championship]], beating [[Serena Gray-Withers]] 9–5 in the final, qualifying Sturmay to represent Alberta at the [[2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]].
