The Nebelhorn Trophy in September 2013 was the final qualifying opportunity for countries which had not already earned a spot in a figure skating event at the 2014 Winter Olympics. By placing seventh, Gjersem earned a ladies' entry for Norway. In October 2013, she sustained a thigh injury at the International Cup of Nice. [8] In January 2014, she came in 19th at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest.

In 2014–15, Gjersem competed at her first senior Grand Prix assignments, placing 11th at 2014 Cup of China and 12th at 2014 NHK Trophy. In January she became the Norwegian national champion, after placing 2nd in the short program behind her twin sister. Gjersem won the silver medal at the 2015 Nordic Championships. She placed 17th at the 2015 World Championships, the best result for a Norwegian ladies' skater since the 1940s. [11]
Gjersem started the 2015–16 season by placing 8th at the 2015 Finlandia Trophy. She won the bronze medal at the 2015 Denkova-Staviski Cup with a new personal best score. She became the Norwegian national champion for the 4th time, again finishing ahead of her twin sister. At the 2016 European Championships Gjersem placed 14th in the short program, and 17th in the free program and overall. [12]
Gjersem sustained a shoulder injury in May 2016 and a knee injury in the autumn. [13] She returned to competition in January 2017 at the EDU Sport Trophy in Romania, where she was the only senior skater.
