Coached by Denise Jaschek and Markus Haider in Linz,[6] Pesendorfer made her international junior debut at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Austria in August 2017. She finished 16th at JGP Austria and 12th at her second JGP assignment, in Zagreb, Croatia.

Competing in March at Junior Worlds, Pesendorfer qualified for the free skate after placing 13th in the short program. She finished 12th overall.

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.
