==Career== ===Juniors=== In 2013, Calvert played for her first University Championship, at the 2013 CIS/CCA Curling Championships in Kamloops, British Columbia, for the University of Alberta Pandas. There, she would go 6–1 in the round robin and it would earn her a spot in the semifinals. She then, would play the Saint Mary's Huskies and win in an 8–2 decision. She would then go on to play in the final against the Manitoba Bisons and lose in a 9–7 decision. Calvert would win the silver medal, and be named to the First All Star team at the skip position. Calvert would also play in the Alberta Junior Curling Championship that year. They went 6–1 in the round robin which gave them a berth in the final. There they would lose to Karynn Flory. In 2014, Calvert and her team of third Keely Brown, second Taylor McDonald, lead Claire Tully and coach Amanda-Dawn Coderre competed once again in the Alberta Junior Curling Championship and this time they would win, with a 6–5 win over 2012 Canadian Junior champion Jocelyn Peterman. This earned them the right to represent Alberta at the 2014 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Calvert went undefeated in her round robin pool which gave her a berth in the championship pool. She finished 9–1 after the championship pool, with her only loss coming at the hands of Nova Scotia's Mary Fay. This meant that Calvert and her team would go directly to the final, where they would face British Columbia's Kalia Van Osch. Calvert and her team led the entire game and had an inturn hit for the win and the championship. They won in a 7–6 decision. Calvert was named to the First All Star team at the skip position, with a player percentage of 79 throughout round robin play. At the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships, Calvert finished the round robin with a 7–2 record, losing only to Russia and South Korea's Kim Kyeong-ae. Calvert would again face South Korea in the 1 vs. 2 page playoff, but this time would win in a 7–6 decision.

It was the first time a Canadian Women's team would win the championship since 2003.
Calvertalso played for the University of Alberta (The Pandas) team, for the second time, in the 2014 CIS/CCA Curling Championships. The Pandas went 6–1 in the round robin, which gave them a bye to the final. They would lose the final however, in a 9–4 decision, to the Carleton Ravens, earning her a second silver medal. Calvert had the second highest skip percentage at the end of the round robin, which would lead her to be named to the second All Star Team at the skip position.
In 2015, Calvert and her new team (her old team having aged out) of Danielle Schmiemann, Holly Jamieson and Jesse Iles would compete for and win her second Alberta Junior Curling Championship, earning her and her team a berth at the 2015 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Corner Brook where she defended her title with her new team by going 9–1 in the round robin giving her a birth to the final, where they won against Ontario's Chelsea Brandwood 8–2. She joined Cathy King, Suzanne Birt, and Kaitlyn Lawes as the fourth junior woman skip to win back-to-back Canadian Junior Curling Championships titles. Calvert would cap the season off by going undefeated to win the 2015 World Junior Curling Championships, becoming the first Canadian skip to win back to back women's world junior championships.
Later on that year, Calvert would skip her University of Alberta Panda's team at a third CIS/CCA Curling Championships. This time, they would go on to win the championship, and get the chance to represent Canada at the 2016 Winter Universiade. Calvert has also won two juvenile Alberta titles.
===Women's=== ====Alberta (2015–2023)==== Following the 2014–15 season, it was announced that Calvert, aging out of juniors, would join Chelsea Carey's old rink, with Taylor McDonald at second, Jen Gates at lead, and Laura Crocker at the third position. In their first season together, the Rocque rink won the Red Deer Curling Classic and the CCT Uiseong Masters on the tour. The team played in five slams, making it to the quarterfinals in four events. Team Rocque played in the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but failed to make the playoffs. The team also played in the 2015 Canada Cup of Curling, but finished with a 2–4 record, missing the playoffs. The following season, the team had less success on the tour. They would play in four slams, making it to the quarterfinals in just one event, the 2016 GSOC Tour Challenge. The team played in the 2016 Canada Cup of Curling, but once again missed the playoffs with a 2–4 record. In the 2017–18 season, Team Rocque would win the Curl Mesabi Classic and would play in three slams, making it to the quarterfinals at just the 2018 Meridian Canadian Open. The team played in the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials, losing in the playoffs. Midway through the season, Walker took over skipping duties of the team, but remained throwing third stones. The Rocque rink played with the new arrangement at the 2018 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, where they narrowly missed the playoffs. The next month it was announced that the team would be splitting up.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/curling/team-rocque-heading-separate-ways-for-next-cycle/|title=Team Rocque heading separate ways for next cycle|date=February 6, 2018}}</ref> For the 2018–19 season, Calvert reunited with her junior team of Danielle Schmiemann, Rebecca Konschuh and Jesse Iles. The team made it all the way to the final of the 2019 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts where they lost to Chelsea Carey 8–3.
The team had a strong 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.

Calvert still got to participate in the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts as the alternate for the Walker rink. Calvert played in two games at the Hearts, and the team finished pool play with a 3–4 record, failing to qualify for the championship round.

Due to the pandemic, most of the tour events during the 2020–21 season were cancelled.

In their first event of the 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 ranking from the 2019–20 season.
