In 2012, she was selected into the Silver Ferns[2] and made her debut in the Quad Series that year, against South Africa.[3] She was a shock selection after playing only one quarter in the 2012 ANZ season, and was picked based on a strong trial, and her natural athleticism and fitness.[4] She played in the 2012 Constellation Cup and Quad Series, earning three caps.[5]

She was also selected for the 2012 Fast5 Netball World Series, where she was used in the goal shoot position. She performed well in a number of matches and finished with one of the highest shooting percentages in the tournament. On 18 May 2023, Mes announced her retirement from international and domestic netball following the conclusion of the 2023 ANZ netball finals, citing injuries as the main cause of her retirement. [6]
