She has won seven International Tennis Federation (ITF) women's circuit singles titles in her career and nearly cracked the top 50.

In 2003, she played some ITF women's circuit events, reaching the final in Atlanta and the semifinals at Dothan-USA. In 2002, she won her only WTA doubles title at Strasbourg with Jelena Kostanić.
