She scored twice on 6 April 2008 (Day 14) in a 7–1 home win against TSV Crailsheim for her first Bundesliga goals. In the 2010/11 season, a persistent heel injury forced her to stay away from the game. During her club affiliation, she won the DFB Cup twice and the UEFA Cup once.

She was signed by VfL Wolfsburg in 2022.[8] She received a contract for four years until 2026. She holds a B+ trainer license.[9]
