Aizen was initially a member of the Argentine national youth team in beach handball. With this she took part in the Beach Handball Junior World Championships 2017 in Flic-en-Flac , Mauritius . With her team she beat Paraguay and Croatia in the preliminary round, but lost to Hungary. Argentina beat Taiwan in the main round, then lost to the Netherlands. As third in the main round, she moved into the quarter-finals with Argentina, where China was initially defeated. In the semifinals they again lost to the Netherlands, in the game for third place they managed to win over Portugal and thus win the bronze medal. A year later, the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in her home city of Buenos Aires were the highlight of the season. Beach handball replaced indoor handball for the first time and was Olympic for the first time. Even before the games, she took part in all four preparatory trips to Brazil between January and September 2018. In the preliminary round they beat the teams from Turkey, Paraguay, Venezuela and Hong Kong. Only the last group game, again against the Netherlands, was lost. While the games in the preliminary round were always clear issues, they became tighter in the main round, with all three games going into the shootout. After beating Croatia, they lost to the team from Hungary and then won very close against Taiwan. As the third-placed team in the main round, they faced one of the two feared opponents Hungary. Although the Hungarians even scored one point more, the Argentines happily won a hard-fought game in the shootout. In the final, the Argentines met Croatia again and defeated them with 2-0 sets. Aizen won the first Olympic gold medal in beach handball with Argentina. With 32 points scored in the course of the tournament, she was the most attacking player in Argentina's defense.

Unlike most of her colleagues from the junior national team, Aizen did not immediately advance to the national beach handball team of Argentina in 2019 . So far, she has only appeared in the 20-player squad in the run-up to the Central and South American Beach Handball Championships 2019 in Maricá in Brazil and the World Beach Games 2019 in Doha , Qatar , because she wants to concentrate primarily on indoor handball.

In February 2019, Aizen and her team ACHA de Mar del Plata , which also included all the other gold medalists of the Youth Olympic Games, Gisella Bonomi , Caterina Benedetti , Carolina Ponce , Fiorella Corimberto , Lucila Balsas , Rosario Soto , Zoe Turnes and Jimena Riadigos , won the Title in the first ever Argentine beach handball summer tour. They were trained by their coach in the Argentine U-national team Leticia Brunati .
