In spring 2014, Müller teamed up with Tim Dieck.[5] Assigned to two 2014–15 ISU Junior Grand Prix events, they placed 8th in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and 7th in Aichi, Japan. After winning the 2015 German junior national title, they were sent to the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia; ranked 13th in the short dance, they qualified for the final segment and finished 12th overall.
2015–16 season
Competing in the Challenger Series (CS), Müller/Dieck finished tenth in September at the 2015 Nebelhorn Trophy – their first senior international – and eighth the following month at the 2015 Mordovian Ornament. In November, they won bronze at the 2015 NRW Trophy before appearing at their third CS event, the 2015 Tallinn Trophy, where they placed fifth. They were awarded the silver medal at the German Championships in December, having finished second to Kavita Lorenz / Panagiotis Polizoakis, and took bronze at the MNNT Cup. Müller/Dieck were included in Germany's team to the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia, but were eliminated after placing 23rd in the short dance.[6]
