In 2011, she was in the team that qualified and reached the final of the 2011 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, when the team finish second after a massive loss for Germany, 8:1.[4] For reaching the semi-finals, the Norwegians had already qualified for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan.
