Club career
Rothfeld began her career with the Santiago Oriente academy.[3] At senior level, she played for Universidad Católica [es] and Audax Italiano [es] in her homeland.[4]
While studying in the United States, she played for St. Thomas Bobcats.[5][1]
International career
After taking part in a trial competition, Rothfeld represented Chile at under-14 level in the opening of a new headquarters of FIFA.[3]

At senior level, she made an appearance in the 2013 International Tournament of Brasília and three appearances in the 2014 South American Games, winning the silver medal.[9][10][11]
Leader career
In 2016, Chile dropped out of the FIFA rankings again, just a year after achieving their best ranking of 41 in 2015. Rothfeld, Christiane Endler, and a few other Chilean teammates created the ANJUFF [es] (Asociación Nacional de Jugadoras de Fútbol Femenino), a Chilean women's footballing union to combat neglect from their federation.[12] ANJUFF received recognition from Chile's athletic unions and FIFPro, and was one of the first efforts to unionize female athletes in Latin America.[13] Chile made their competitive return in May 2017, winning by 12–0 over Peru.[14]
Since then, she has led the institution.[2]
