Grm made her first appearance in a senior ISU Championship in January 2011 at the European Championships in Bern, Switzerland. She qualified for the free skate and finished twentieth overall.

In the 2014–15 season, Grm competed at two ISU Challenger Series events, placing twelfth at the Warsaw Cup and then fourth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb.
