Two years later she moved to the first division club Rødovre BK in front of the gates of Copenhagen . For two years, she had to drive 150 kilometers there and back four times a week to get to training or the games. Only after graduating from high school did she move to Copenhagen and join Hillerød BK. In the summer of 2000 she finally moved to Brøndby IF , where she still plays today. There she met coach Peer Danefeld, who turned the defensive midfielder into an offensive midfielder. She achieved all successes in the Brøndby jersey.
