She first competed at World Championship level in 2010 on Lake Karapiro in New Zealand, where she came in eights place.[2] She won a bronze medal at the 2014 World Rowing Championships at Bosbaan, Amsterdam in the Netherlands.[3] At the 2015 World Rowing Championships at Lac d'Aiguebelette, Aiguebelette in France, she achieved the same result.[4]
