After the unification of Germany, she began competing for the new German team in 1991. She became the country's first post-unification 1500 m champion with a win at the German Indoor Athletics Championships. Her winning time of 4:05.50 minutes remains (as of 2015) a championship record. She built on this by winning over the same distance at the German Athletics Championships later that year. She won a 1500 m bronze for the hosts at the 1991 European Cup in Frankfurt before going on to take fifth place in the event at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics. She repeated her indoor and outdoor national title double in the 1992 season and went on to represent Germany at the 1992 Summer Olympics. However, at the Olympics in Barcelona she failed to finish in the first round and was eliminated. This was her only Olympic appearance and her last major outing at world level. She ended the 1992 season with a win at the Natternbach Silvesterlauf 5K.
