Tran says her love for curling began at the age of six when her grandfather took her to the rink with her cousins to play in little rocks league.

Soon after, she started competing and had a successful junior career, winning silver at the Canada Winter Games in 2011 and the Canadian National Juniors in 2012.

Since then, she has competed at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts three times and is a two-time Mixed Doubles Alberta Champion. Most recently, she won the 2023 Alberta Women’s Provincials as third for Team Skrlik and competed at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts for Team Alberta.

In the past few years, Tran has become a champion for equity, diversity and inclusion in curling and is a Board member for UnitedWeCurl, a charity that focuses on making curling a welcoming and inclusive place for all.

When Tran is not on the ice, she can be found hiking, reading and travelling.
