In 2016 Edmunds competed in the Women's Quadruple Sculls and represented Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Post-Rio, Edmunds joined the Hancock Prospecting Women's National Training Centre in Penrith, and in 2017 was selected, alongside Olympia Aldersey, to race in the Women's Double Scull at World Rowing Cups 2 and 3 and the World Rowing Championships. The duo went on to win bronze at the 2017 World Rowing Championships. In 2018, Edmunds was selected into the Women's Single Scull for the World Rowing Cups 2 and 3.
