Nesbitt's senior rowing has been from the Huon Rowing Club in southern Tasmania. Nesbitt first made state selection for Tasmania in 2011 in the women's lightweight quad scull contesting the Victoria Cup at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships. She made five consecutive Victoria Cup appearances for Tasmania from 2011 to 2015, was in victorious Tasmanian quads in 2014 and 2015 and she stroked the 2014 crew. Tasmania did not enter a Victoria Cup quad in 2017 but in 2018 Nesbitt was back in the stroke seat for their third placing at the Interstate Regatta. At the Australian Championships in 2015 she won the national lightweight single sculls title. At the 2019 Australian Championships she won three national titles - the women's lightweight single scull, the lightweight double scull and she stroked the Tasmanian lightweight women's quad to victory for the Interstate Championship.
International representative rowing
Nesbitt made her Australian representative debut in 2013 in an U23 lightweight double scull. She rowed with Georgia Miansarow to a fifth place at the U23 World Rowing Championships in Linz. That same year with Miansarow, Hannah Clarke and Alex Hayes she was selected in the Australian senior lightweight quad scull which raced at 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju to fifth place. In 2014 still paired with Miansarow she raced in the lightweight double scull at the World Rowing Cup III in Lucerne to fifth place. Then at the 2014 U23 World Rowing Championships in Varese the two Georgias rowed the double to a bronze medal. In 2015 she competed at the World Championships in Aiguebelette in a single scull where she finished in eight place. Nesbitt was back in Australian representative contention in 2017. She rowed in the lightweight double at the World Rowing Cup II in Poznan to sixth place and then at the WRC III in Lucerne with Amy James, Alice Arch and Miansarow they raced in both the lightweight and the heavyweight quad events, winning the lightweight. They were in ready form for the 2017 World Rowing Championships in Sarasota where they rowed to a second placing and a silver medal. That crew stayed together into 2018. They raced as two doubles at the WRC II in Linz where the Georgias finished 14th and then at the WRC III in Lucerne with Arch changed out for Sarah Pound, they placed fifth. In. 2019 Nesbitt was again selected in Australia's lightweight sculling squad for the 2019 international season. She rowed to success in the single scull at the two World Rowing Cups in Europe, winning a bronze medal at the World Rowing Cup II in Poznan and then silver at WRC III in Rotterdam. Nesbitt was then selected to race Australia's lightweight double scull with Sarah Pound at the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Linz, Austria.

They placed third in the B-final for an overall ninth-place finish and failed to qualify the boat for Tokyo 2020.
