2023–24 season: Australian national title, Grand Prix debut

With Giotopoulos Moore aging out of junior eligibility, the team planned for its first full senior season, primarily training in Australia for Golubeva's residency purposes, but also spending time in Montreal due to the coach's belief they needed to train with other high-level pair skaters, and Russia being difficult to train in at the time.

In February, the pair competed at the 2025 Four Continents Championships in Seoul, South Korea, where they placed sixth in the short program and seventh in the free skate, finishing sixth overall. The following month, Golubeva/Giatopoulos Moore competed at the 2025 World Championships in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. They scored a new personal best in the short program, placing eighth in that segment and placing ninth in the free skate, finishing in ninth place overall.

2025–2026 season: Injury struggles, Milano Cortina Olympics Although Golubeva/Giatopoulos Moore were assigned to compete at the 2025 Grand Prix de France and 2025 Skate Canada International, they opted to withdraw from both events to allow Golubeva to focus on meeting the residency requirements to obtaining Australian citizenship. During this period, the pair also had to deal with injuries, including Golubeva sustaining a concussion during training.

They returned to competition at the 2025 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb in December but withdrew following the short program.
