Club career

In December 2005, Swedish national champions Umeå IK signed Pedersen from Norwegian second tier club IK Grand Bodø.[1] She was an unused substitute in all four legs of Umeå's UEFA Women's Cup final defeats in 2007 and 2008. With her playing opportunities decreasing at Umeå, Pedersen moved to Damallsvenskan rivals Piteå in December 2008.[2][3][4]

International career

On 17 September 2015, she made her debut for the Norway senior national team during a match against Scotland at the age of 30.[5] A week later, she earned her first start playing in the left-back position against Kazakhstan during Norway's first UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying match.[6]
