Her first sport was athletics before she tried volleyball at TG Herford. 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]

While playing for Dresdner SC and Schweriner SC, she also competed in European competitions (twice with each team). She reached the playoff stage of both 2014–15 CEV Women's Champions League and 2015–16 CEV Women's Champions League with Dresden and helped Schwerin reach two semifinals, in the 2016–17 CEV Women's Challenge Cup and in the 2017–18 Women's CEV Cup.[4]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, she signed with Italian club Il Bisonte Firenze.[3][7]
