She signed her first documented senior development contract at just 15. In June 2024, FC Nordsjælland announced contracts for Petersen and fellow academy player Astrid Engsig-Karup, highlighting the club's commitment to developing young talent.

She completed her ninth-grade education while playing in Denmark's top division. Petersen was among the young FC Nordsjælland players featured in the club's October 2025 educational initiative, which aimed to help footballers balance their studies and sporting development.

She scored a hat-trick against FC København in August 2026. The young forward found the net three times in Nordsjælland's remarkable 9-1 A-Liga victory.

She used one-to-one mentoring to improve her German. Thea received additional academic support through FC Nordsjælland's partnership with MentorDanmark. She explained that improving her understanding of German also made learning languages easier more generally.

She has experienced European away trips while still in her teens. Petersen was included in the 24-player FC Nordsjælland travelling squad for the historic Europa Cup quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt in February 2026.
