Made her World Cup debut on 28 December 2015 and recorded her first World Cup top-5 (5th, downhill, St Anton) on 9 January 2021. After more than a decade on tour, she won her first World Cup race and podium in her 125th-ish career start at Val di Fassa on 6 March 2026, then won the very next downhill there by 0.01 seconds.
