McDowell, a player from the Sunshine Coast, was considered a bright prospect, ranked amongst the world's top 100 juniors.[2] She represented Australia at the Junior Fed Cup.[3]

In 2006 she made her WTA Tour main draw debut as a wildcard at the Canberra International, then a week later partnered Jessica Moore in the women's doubles main draw of the Australian Open.[4]

Her career was derailed by shoulder injuries, which forced her to have keyhole surgery in 2008.[5] After two years out of the game, she returned in 2010 and won an ITF tournament in Cantanhede, Portugal.[6]
