During her career she played 2 national team matches, both in 2012.

She started playing top level professional handball at the age of only 15 for Aalborg DH, where she played in the Champions League. When she switched to another giant in Danish handball, she began to grow tired of the sport, which made her switch to SK Aarhus after only a year at Viborg.[5] She planned to return to her childhood club Aalborg DH, but the club went bankrupt just before the start of the season. She instead signed for Ringkøbing Håndbold while at the same time beginning the education as a physiotherapist, but after only 4 months she decided to take a break from handball due to starting to experience burnout once again.

When she finished her education in 2017 she returned to top level handball at Silkeborg-Voel KFUM.[6]

She returned to Aalborg in 2017, and in the last year of her career in 2020 she was part of the EH Aalborg team which went undefeated in the Danish 1st division.[7]
