In the World Cup, she competed since 2018, initially alternating with the IBU Cup. Her best season came in 2020/21 with a 46th rank in the total score and her first individual top-10 results (eighth in the sprint in Oestersund).

Competed since 2015 in Youth/Junior World Championships until she finally had a major success winning one silver in individual and two bronze in sprint and pursuit in 2020 in Lenzerheide.
