She has been a member of the Bundestag since autumn 2009. She was one of her party's eight top candidates for the 2013 Bundestag elections.

Gohlke graduated from high school in 1995 and then studied communication science. She completed her studies with a Magister Artium. From 2004 to 2008, she worked as a project manager in event management as well as in market and opinion research. From June 2008 until her entry into the Bundestag, she was employed in the Regional Office South of the parliamentary group Die Linke in the German Bundestag.

Gohlke first joined politics in 1991 in the movement against both the Gulf War and the racist pogroms in the 1990s. During her studies in 1997, she joined the student protests against the austerity plans at the universities. In 2001, she joined the globalization-critical Attac movement. She became a member of the coordination group of Attac Munich, to which she belonged until 2003, and took part in the protests against the World Economic Summit in Genoa in the summer of 2001.

Gohlke became a member of the newly founded WASG. In June 2006 she was elected to the executive committee of the WASG in Bavaria. After the fusion of the party with the PDS, she was a member of the Bavarian state executive committee of The Left from 2007 to 2014. Since October 2016, she has been deputy district spokesperson in Munich.

In autumn 2008, Gohlke stood for election as a direct candidate in the Munich-Bogenhausen constituency in the Bavarian state election and won 5.2% of the first votes. In the 2009 federal election, she received 5.9% of the votes as a direct candidate in the Munich-East constituency, and entered the German Bundestag for the first time as a member of parliament via the state list of The Left. The party nominated her as one of its eight top candidates in January 2013.
