In the 2022 Copa América she made it to the final with her team and lost 1-0 to Brazil, achieving second place. During the tournament she also scored two goals and assisted one.[10] By reaching the final, her team also qualified for the 2023 World Cup.

On July 4, 2023, she was nominated for the final squad at the 2023 World Cup,[11] played in each of her team's five games, and was eliminated with the team in the quarter-finals against England.[12]
