In the 2006/07 season she took part in several Continental Cups, the Nor-Am Cup and the US SuperTour . She was able to occupy places in the top five several times. At the US Championships in January 2007 in Houghton , however, she missed a single-digit result. A month later she was used in the World Cup relay in Davos .

At the US Short Distance Championships in January in Houghton, she finished third over 10 km. Shortly thereafter, she took part in a World Cup individual race for the first time in Canmore, Canada . With the 24th place she was able to win World Cup points straight away. She contested the only races of the season in Europe at the U23 World Championships in Mals , where she finished 11th and 18th. In early February 2008 she took part in the Canadian Championships in Whistler , but just missed the podium as fourth over 5 kilometers.

After she had started again at several Continental Cup races at the beginning of the 2008/09 season, she took part in the World Cup in Whistler in mid-January, where she was able to win more World Cup points. At the following U23 World Cup in Praz de Lys , she was able to achieve a placement among the top 8 in both races in which she participated. After she started at another World Cup in Valdidentro , she took part in the Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec . After missing positions in the top thirty in the 10 km individual race and in the double pursuit, a 22nd place in the 30 km freestyle race became her best World Championship result. In the season she finished 14th and penultimate rank together with Kikkan Randall , Elizabeth Stephen and Caitlin Compton . After she started at the Alpine Cup races in Métabief after the World Championship , she was able to win silver over 30 km at the end of the season at the US championships, which were again held in Fairbanks.
