In 2010 Roleder won the German Junior Championships and qualified for the European Championships in Barcelona with her second place at the German Championships in Braunschweig .

There she reached the semi-finals. At the U23 European Championships in Ostrava , she won the bronze medal in the 100 meter hurdles in 13.10 s. A week later she won the German Championships in Kassel in exactly the same time. Shortly afterwards, she increased her personal best at a meeting in Friborg to 12.91 s and thus undercut the A-norm of the DLV for the World Championships in Daegu by five hundredths of a second. This finally secured her nomination for the world title fights, which the association had previously only issued with reservations. In Daegu she reached the semi-finals, but could not qualify for the final despite setting her best performance.

At the German Indoor Championships in Karlsruhe in 2012 , she won a new personal best of 7.96 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles ahead of the favorite Carolin Nytra .

In 2017 she became German indoor runner-up in the 60 meter hurdles in Leipzig and European indoor champion in Belgrade . However, she had to end her outdoor season prematurely due to persistent sciatica and thus forego participating in the World Championships in London.
