In University curling, Wilkes played third for the Wilfrid Laurier University women's curling team. She played in the &lt;a href="2010%20CIS/CCA%20Curling%20Championships"&gt;2010 CIS/CCA Curling Championships&lt;/a&gt; on a team skipped by Danielle Inglis, losing in the semi-final. Laurier would then win the 2011 and &lt;a href="2012%20CIS/CCA%20Curling%20Championships"&gt;2012 CIS/CCA Curling Championships&lt;/a&gt; under skip Laura Crocker. The team represented Canada at the 2013 Winter Universiade, but they finished off the podium with a 4–5 round robin record.
