She soon moved to SV Bielefeld and played in the youth teams until 2010 when she moved to USC Münster, where she progressed from the second league to the Bundesliga. In 2014 she went to Dresdner SC, winning the Bundesliga twice and the German Cup once. In 2016, she moved to Schweriner SC with whom she won another two Bundesliga titles, one German Super Cup and a German Cup runners-up place.[2][3]
