She competed at a relatively low level of athletics in her early career. She was third in the 800 metres at the 2006 Kenyan Police Championships. She was one of three Kenyan entrants in the heptathlon at the 2010 African Championships in Athletics and, although her run of 2:15.40 minutes in the final 800 m event was easily the best in the field, she finished last with a total of 3676 points as she performed to a poor international standard in the other events (including 20.76 seconds for the 100 metres hurdles and 6.83 m for the shot put).
