Career

Babin won the 2010 New Brunswick Scotties Tournament of Hearts as second for the Andrea Crawford rink. At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team went 5-6, missing the playoffs. Her team also won provincials the following year at the 2011 New Brunswick Scotties Tournament of Hearts where they defeated Sylvie Robichaud in the final. At the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, team New Brunswick went 3-8. She won her third consecutive provincial title at the 2012 New Brunswick Scotties Tournament of Hearts. New Brunswick went 5-6 once again at the Hearts.

Babin took a break from competitive curling for a few years before returning in 2017 as second for Jennifer Armstrong. At provincials, the team lost in the semi-final to Sarah Mallais.[2]

After Ward moved to skip her own team in Newfoundland and Labrador, the team brought on Babin's former teammate Andrea Crawford to skip the team. At the 2019 New Brunswick Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Team Crawford posted a perfect 5-0 record en route to capturing the title.[3] At the Hearts, the team went 3-4, missing the playoffs.[4]

To start the 2019–20 curling season, Team Crawford won their first two events, the Steele Cup Cash and the Atlantic Superstore Monctonian Challenge.
