She made her way up the ranks of youth in 2005 and won the silver medal in 3000 meters during the IAAF World Youth Championships in Athletics and won the world junior cross-country title in the IAAF World Cross Country Championships. After winning medals for youth across the field on both World as well as African junior levels She has also competed for Kenya in the higher levels, competing in both cross country and 10,000-meter race during the African Championships in Athletics. She was awarded 2 bronze medals in the All-Africa Games and a gold medal at the 2015 Military World Games.
