Career
= Early career
=Chtchetinina began figure skating in 2001. She originally competed as a singles skater for Switzerland until 2015, when she decided to switch to pair skating. Her first pair partner was Noah Scherer. The pair was coached by Jean-Francois Ballester and primarily trained in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, and Oberstdorf, Germany. Together, they won the 2017 Swiss Championships, competed at two World Championships (eighteenth in 2016 and twenty-eighth in 2017), and finished seventeenth at the 2017 European Championships. In mid-May 2017, the Swiss skating federation announced that the pair had parted ways.
The following season, Chtchetinina teamed up with Ukrainian-Russian pair skater Mikhail Akulov to continue representing Switzerland. They were coached by Juri Larionov in Moscow, Russia, and Jean-Francois Ballester in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Together, the pair won the 2018 Swiss Championships, placed thirteenth at the 2018 European Championships, and twenty-third at the 2018 World Championships. They split following the 2018–19 figure skating season.

In August 2019, Chtchetinina announced that she had teamed up with Hungarian pair skater Márk Magyar and that they would be coached by Dmitri Savin and Fedor Klimov in Moscow, Russia. The pair decided to represent Hungary.
Chtchetinina and Maygar started the season by finishing eighth at the 2019 Finlandia Trophy, fourth at the 2019 IceLab International Cup, and fifth at the 2019 Golden Spin of Zagreb.
After winning gold at the 2020 Four National Championships, Chtchetinina and Maygar were selected to represent Hungary at the 2020 European Championships, where they finished tenth. They finished the season with a fourth-place finish at the 2020 Challenge Cup.
2020–21 season
Chtchetinina and Maygar started the season by finishing seventh at the 2020 Rostelecom Cup and winning bronze at the 2021 Challenge Cup.
Going on to compete at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, the pair finished fourteenth.
2021–22 season
Chtchetinina and Maygar started the season by winning bronze at the 2021 Budapest Trophy and eighth at the 2021 Denis Ten Memorial Challenge. They went on to compete on the 2021–22 Grand Prix Circuit, finishing sixth at the 2021 Internationaux de France and the 2021 Rostelecom Cup.
They won gold at the 2022 Four National Championships for a second time before going on to place sixth at the 2022 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.
Although they were set to compete at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, they unfortunately had to withdraw shortly after arriving due to Magyar testing positive for COVID-19. Their pair parted ways shortly after the event.
= Partnership with Woźniak
=2023–24 season
Upon learning about the end of Chtchetinina's partnership with Maygar, Polish pair skater Michał Woźniak messaged her on Instagram, asking if she would be interested in having a try-out with him. Despite differences in their levels of experience in the discipline, Chtchetinina agreed to a tryout. The official announcement of their partnership for Poland took place in August 2023. It was also made public that the pair would train in Berlin, Germany, where they were coached by Nolan Seegert and Dmitri Savin.
Chtchetinina and Woźniak made their international debut at the 2023 Budapest Trophy, where they finished fourth. They next competed at the 2023 Diamond Spin where they placed second. The team claimed their second international medal not long after with a bronze at the 2023 Warsaw Cup. Chtchetinina and Woźniak competed once more before the Polish National Championships, finishing fourth at their first Challenger event, the 2023 Golden Spin of Zagreb.
At the 2024 Four Nationals Championship, Chtchetinina and Woźniak placed second in the combined senior pairs event, but won the Polish national title by default as the sole Polish entrant. Their win yielded assignments to both the 2024 European Championships and the 2024 World Championships. The team competed just once more before the championship season began, winning the silver medal at the 2024 Bavarian Open.
Chtchetinina and Woźniak finished tenth at the European Championships and nineteenth at the World Championships.
