In October 2024, she was first selected to represent Denmark in a tournament.[3] She made her official debut on 6 March 2025 against Norway.[4][5] Later the same year she played her first major international tournament at the 2025 World Championship replacing Sarah Iversen and Rikke Iversen.[6] Denmark went out in the quarterfinal to France after winning all matches in the group stages.
