She finished eighth at the 2008 Olympic Games. She also competed at the 2004 Olympic Games, the 2005 World Championships as well as the World Indoor Championships in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008 without reaching the final round.[1]

Her personal best time for 100m hurdles is 12.81 seconds, achieved in July 2008 in Loughborough. She is a former British record holder in the 60 metres hurdles, with a personal best of 7.96 seconds, achieved in February 2005 in Sheffield.
