Sherret began skiing as part of the Kimberley alpine team, but switched to the ski cross discipline at age 14.[1] In 2015, she won the FIS Freestyle Junior World Ski Championships in women's ski cross.[2] She sat out the following season due to the need to recovery from bulimia nervosa, a condition Sherret began to suffer from at age 15.[3] On January 13, 2018, she won the bronze medal at a FIS World Cup event in Idre, Sweden, her first podium finish at a senior World Cup event.[4]

She represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics as part of the women's ski cross team.[5] Sherret placed eleventh in the qualifying run for the women's ski cross event. In her heat, Sherret lost control going into a jump and crashed into the next hill. She was hospitalized for small transverse process fractures to her back, requiring her to wear a brace for several weeks. Sherret subsequently expressed optimism about competing in the 2022 Winter Olympics.[6]
