She played as a right-arm off-spin bowler.
Dodd was born in Foxton, in New Zealand's Manawatu-Wanganui region.
After several years playing with the Wellington Blaze domestically, she was selected in the New Zealand squad for a tour of India in November and December 2001.
That tour was cancelled, but Dodd eventually made her international debut in a One Day International (ODI) against Australia in February 2002.
When New Zealand toured Europe later in the year, she took what would be career-best figures against the Netherlands, finishing with 3/13 from five overs.
At the 2005 World Cup in South Africa, Dodd played in five of her team's seven matches, taking three wickets with a best of 2/15 against Sri Lanka.
Her last international matches came in October 2006, in an ODI series against Australia.
She played in 31 ODIs in total, taking 28 wickets.
