In February 2016 she made her international debut at the Alina Cup in Moscow, finishing fourth in clubs with a score of 15.400.

[10] At the end of March, she was assigned to three international competitions: Marbella Grand Prix in Marbella, Spain from March 31-April 2; Sofia International Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria in May; and Guadalajara World Challenge Cup in Guadalajara, Spain from June 2–4.
