International play

Karjalainen played with the Finnish women's national U18 team at the IIHF World Women's U18 Championships in 2015, 2016, and 2017.[1]

She was officially named to the Finnish roster for the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship on 4 March 2020, before the tournament was cancelled on 7 March 2020 due to public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] The 2020 World Championship would have been Karjalainen's debut with the Finnish national team at an IIHF-organized international tournament; she appeared on the national roster for various Euro Hockey Tour tournaments, first in 2016.[4][5][6]

She ultimately debuted with the senior national at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship as an alternate defenseman on the 25-player roster and skated in five games.[7]
