In 2013 she won the 100 and 200 m at the Gabriel Tiacoh meet in front of a home crowd in Abidjan. She competed in the World University Games in Kazan in July, reaching the semi-final in the 100 m and finishing eighth in the final of the 200 m in a time of 23.63. Her season was affected by a bout of malaria, which meant her time of 11.58 set at the Gabriel Tiacoh meet would remain her season's best. She was also struggling to combine her athletics training and her studies in Shanghai so in August, she decided to return to Ivory Coast.
