On 21 March 2019, she scored her first goal in an 8–0 UEFA U17 qualifying win over Georgia.[6] In May 2019, May was named to the squad traveling to Bulgaria to contest the 2019 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship.[7] May made two appearances as the team finished level on points with Germany and Netherlands but were eliminated at the group stage on a head-to-head goal difference tiebreaker. In March 2020, May was called up to the under-19 squad for the first time to compete in the La Managa tournament.[8]
