Early years

Coached by Denise Jaschek and Markus Haider in Linz,[7] Pesendorfer made her international junior debut at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Austria in August 2017. She finished sixteenth at JGP Austria and twelfth at her second JGP assignment, in Zagreb, Croatia.[2]

In December, she won the junior ladies title at the 2018 Austrian Championships and was assigned to the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. Competing in March at Junior Worlds, Pesendorfer qualified for the free skate after placing thirteenth in the short program. She finished twelfth overall.[2]

2018–2019 season

Pesendorfer sat out the 2018–19 ISU Junior Grand Prix series, competing only at the 2018 Golden Bear of Zagreb and 2018 Skate Celje in the fall. At Skate Celje, she won the junior bronze medal.

At the 2019 Austrian Championships, Pesendorfer won the junior silver medal behind Olga Mikutina. She was assigned to the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, where she placed seventh.

Making her debut in international senior competition, she competed at three events on the Challenger series, placing ninth at Nebelhorn Trophy, eleventh at the Nepela Memorial, and fifteenth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb.

Placing second at junior nationals for the second consecutive season and then winning bronze in her senior national debut, Pesendorfer finished the season with a fifteenth-placed finish at the 2020 World Junior Championships.[8]

Debuting at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, an event attended only by European skaters due to pandemic-related travel restrictions, Pesendorfer placed twelfth.[9]

Pesendorfer placed sixteenth at the 2021 CS Lombardia Trophy.[10] She went on to win the bronze medal at two minor internationals and finish fifteenth at the 2021 CS Cup of Austria before winning the Austrian national title. She was nevertheless not named to the Austrian Olympic team, but made her World Championship debut, finishing thirty-second.[2]

Beginning the season on the Challenger circuit, Pesendorfer finished in eighth place at both the 2022 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and the 2022 CS Nepela Memorial, before coming tenth at the 2022 CS Ice Challenge. She won medals at a number of other minor internationals, and took the bronze medal at the Austrian championships.[2]

Going on to compete at the 2023 CS Budapest Trophy, Pessendorfer placed fourteenth in the short program but withdrew prior to the free skate.[2] She subsequently competed at the 2023 NRW Trophy where she would place fourth.[11]
