Wazney's junior career involved winning a number of provincial titles. She played for Manitoba at the 2003 Canada Winter Games, she won the 2001 and 2003 Manitoba Under 16 championships, was a silver medalist at the 2004 U18 Optimist International event.

The team then represented Canada at the 2008 World Junior Curling Championships where they won a bronze medal.

After her 2008 junior run, Wazney was too old to continue playing with the Lawes junior team, and began women's play as the lead for the Kerri Einarson rink. The following season (2009–10) she moved to play second for the Jenna Loder rink. The next season (2010–11), she moved back to lead with the Sabrina Neufeld team, and then the next season (2011–12) she moved to play lead for the Jill Thurston rink. In 2012, Wazney moved from her native Manitoba to Kelowna, BC to play lead for the Kelly Scott team.

On the World Curling Tour, Wazney played in her first Grand Slam event playing with Loder at the 2009 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic. However, the team was eliminated without winning a game. Wazney played in two Grand Slams with Thurston. At the 2011 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic the team was eliminated with a 2-3 record. At the 2011 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic the team was also eliminated with a 2-3 record. With Scott, Wazney would play in four Grand Slams. At the 2012 Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic, the team lost in the semi-final to Sherry Middaugh. At the 2012 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic the team was eliminated with a 3-3 record. At the 2012 Manitoba Lotteries Women's Curling Classic the team was eliminated with a 1-3 record and at the 2012 The Masters Grand Slam of Curling team finished pool play with a 2-3 record.

Wazney played in her first and only Manitoba provincial championship with Thurston in 2012. That team finished 5-2 in pool play but lost in a tie-breaker against Jennifer Jones. After moving to play with Kelly Scott, Wazney played in her first British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2013 which they won, sending Wazney to her first Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At the2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team would end up winning a bronze medal.
