Bear first competed at the United States Junior Curling Championship in 2015, as skip of a team consisting of Jenna Burchesky at third, Allison Howell at second and Annmarie Dubberstein at lead.

Despite being newcomers on the national stage, Team Bear made it to the finals where they lost to defending champion Cory Christensen.

[3] With Team Christensen, Bear won her first World Curling Tour event, going undefeated at the 2015 St. Paul Cash Spiel.

They defeated Jamie Sinclair in the 3 vs 4 page playoff game,[7] but then lost to Nina Roth in the semifinals, earning themselves the bronze medal.

This gave the United States a path straight to the final where they ultimately faced Canada again, this time losing 4–7 to earn the silver medal.

[9] For the 2016–17 season Bear was back to skipping her own team, this time composed of Cora Farrell, Cait Flannery, and Lexi Lanigan.

[13] At the 2018 World Junior Championships in Aberdeen, Scotland, Bear and her team just missed the playoffs, finishing in fifth place.
