She was selected to perform in the 5 hoops exercise at the 2022 Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships in Tel Aviv, Israel, scoring 30.150, the group came in 12th place in the all-around.

Lester was selected to represent Germany at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Anja Kosan, Daniella Kromm, Alina Oganesyan, and Emilia Wickert.
