After a 2003 PhD at the Swedish-language Åbo Akademi University titled 'Using multi-scale spatial and temporal information to explain soft-sediment macrofaunal heterogeneity,' Hewitt joined staff at National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, rising to principal scientist.
In 2016 Hewitt was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.[3] Also in 2016 Hewitt was awarded the New Zealand Marine Sciences Society Award in recognition of her "significant contribution to the understanding of the role of scale in ecology and using advanced statistics to address challenging ecological questions".[4]
