McLaughlin has represented New Brunswick at four Canadian Junior Curling Championships with two bronze medals to her name in 2016 and 2018.[3] [4] She also has a very accomplished Under 18 championship record.

The Comeau rink would lose another semifinal at the 2020 provincials, this time to the Sylvie Quillian rink.[8] Later that season, Team Comeau represented the UNB Reds at the 2020 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships. There, they made it all the way to the final where they lost to the Alberta Pandas skipped by Selena Sturmay.[9]
