Her first international championship as a senior was the World Championships in Mie. There she was 13th with Maike Deuschle, Johanna Gabor, Sara Radman and Karolina Raskina in the group All-Around and 13th with 3 ribbons + 2 ropes, 14th with 5 hoops.[5][6][7] At the European Championships in spring 2010 in Bremen, Pfeffer missed out on a medal with Cathrin Puhl, Radman, Mira Bimperling, Raskina and Regina Sergeeva she missed a medal in the team competition as Germany finished in 4th place behind Russia, Italy and Belarus, she also finished 4th in the apparatus finals.[8] In the autumn of that year, at the World Championships followed in Moscow, Pfeffer finished 8th in the team competition and 5th in the two apparatus finals. At the World Championships one year later in Montpellier with Regina Sergeeva, Cathrin Puhl, Nicole Müller, Sara Radman and Mira Bimperling she finished 6th in the group All-Around, as well as 7th with 5 balls and 5th with 3 ribbons + 2 hoops.[9][10][11] With sixth place, the team qualified directly for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[12] Before the Games, she was still in action at the 2012 European Championships in Nizhny Novgorod. In the group All-Around she reached 9Th place with Judith Hauser, Müller, Radman, Puhl and Bimperling.[13] With the same line-up, the group took 10th place at the Olympic Games in London.[14] After the Olympics, Pfeffer ended her sporting career.

Since 2018 she has been coaching the national team group, which won team silver at the 2022 World Championships under her leadership.[15] In 2023 the group won two silver medals (All-Around and 3 ribbons and 2 balls) in Tashkent that, along the bronze won in 2022, were the first World Cup medals for Germany since 2016.[16][17]
