In March of 2025, Black competed at the International Gymnix, contributing to the Canada 1 team's gold-medal finish. She placed fifth in the all-around and won the silver medal in the vault final.[7]

At the 2025 DTB Pokal Team Challenge, Black won the gold medal in the all-around, as well as on vault. Additionally, the Canadian team won silver in the women's team competition.[8]

Black participated in the 2025 Canadian Championships in May, where she took the national title on balance beam. She also won silver in the all-around and bronze on floor exercise.[9]

The 2025 Pan American Championships were held in June, and Black won silver in the team competition alongside Canadian teammates Lia-Monica Fontaine, Alyssa Guerrier-Calixte, Lia Redick, and Evandra Zlobec. She also took fourth place in the all-around and qualified for the vault and uneven bars finals, where she finished fifth and fourth, respectively.[10]

Black was named to the Canadian team for the 2025 World Championships in Jakarta, along with teammates Fontaine, Ellie Black, and Shallon Olsen. She competed on all four events and was third reserve for the vault final, less than a tenth away from making the final outright.[11]

Black was part of the bronze-medal Canadian winning team at the 2026 Pan American Championships, with teammates Lia-Monica Fontaine, Lia Redick, Alyssa Guerrier-Calixte, and Aurélie Tran. She qualified for the vault final, where she finished eighth, and the floor final, where she finished fifth.
