Senior
Cîmpian became age-eligible for senior competitions in 2017. She made her senior debut at the Doha World Cup but did not advance into any apparatus finals. She qualified for the all-around final at the 2017 European Championships and finished 23rd.After the European Championships, Cîmpian's father announced she would be leaving Romania to train in Hungary and would pursue citizenship to compete for Hungary internationally. She was able to receive Hungarian citizenship in September 2017 because her grandmother was Hungarian. The nationality change request was approved by the International Gymnastics Federation in October, but Cîmpian would have to sit out of competition for one year because Romania did not release her. However, in July 2018, Cîmpian and her family returned to Romania with the intent of competing for Romania again. Her father indicated that her education was the main reason to return to Romania. The FIG approved the change back to Romania in December 2018, but the Hungarian federation refused to release Cîmpian, meaning she would be ineligible to compete until December 2019.
Cîmpian announced her retirement from gymnastics in October 2020 to attend medical school at the Vasile Goldiș Western University of Arad.
