Her best result in a WTA Tour event came at the 2005 Hyderabad Open, where she reached the quarterfinals.[2] The biggest win of her career was when she beat then-world No. 16, Li Na, in straight sets in the first round of the 2006 Rogers Cup.[3] She won in June 2012 the third singles title of her career at the $25k tournament in El Paso, beating Ashley Weinhold in the final.[4]

Pelletier retired from tennis on January 9, 2013, after her loss in the first round of the Australian Open qualifying.[1]
