Skating career

Wessenberg began learning to skate in 2003. Coached by Mark Mitchell and Peter Johansson, she debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in September 2015. In January, she won the junior bronze medal at the 2016 U.S. Championships.

Wessenberg finished 14th in the senior ranks at the 2017 U.S. Championships.

In June 2020, Wessenberg switched disciplines to pair skating and left longtime coaches Mitchell and Johansson to train with Todd Sand and Jenni Meno in Irvine, California. While searching for a partner, she has been practicing pairs skills with Chris Knierim.

In January 2021, it was announced that she had teamed up with Blake Eisenach. The pair won the 2022 U.S. Junior National pewter medal before ultimately parting ways in 2023.
