She broke the 400 metres Kenyan record at the Kenyan Championships in July 2008 by running 51.53. The previous record, 51.56 by Ruth Waithera was set in 1984. A week later she lowered the record to 50.82 at the Kenyan Olympic trials. She was selected to compete for Kenya at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

She had returned to competition in early 2011.
