She has competed in four Junior World Championships (2017-20) with her best finish ninth in downhill at Narvik in 2020.

She scored her first World Cup points in Dec 2021, finishing 40th in downhill at Lake Louise.

Her best Europa Cup downhill came in Jan 2022 at Orcieres-Merlette 1850 where she finished 13th. She was 12th in a super-G in Dec 2019 at St. Moritz.

In NorAm Cup downhills at Lake Louise in Dec 2021 she scored two sixth place finishes.

"So we came to this race, which was a really big challenge, because starting after almost a year without running in a World Cup like this is a very serious thing. We came mainly to enjoy, to know the track for the following years and especially for the races that come next week, which are the Nor-Ams here, which is where we really think we can be more competitive."
