Her first major international appearance came at the 2005 World Youth Championships in Athletics, where she reached the final of the 400 metres.

She was selected as a reserve for the relay at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, but she did not compete.[1] She reached the semi-finals of the 400 m at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but enjoyed greater success in the women's relay: along with Clora Williams, Davita Prendergast and Novlene Williams-Mills, she won the bronze medal in a Jamaican indoor record of 3:28.49 (also a Central American and Caribbean record).[2]

However, she failed her drug test at the competition, and the Jamaican team was disqualified. Her sample contained andarine (a selective androgen receptor modulator), making her the second international runner to test positive for the class of anabolic drugs, after Thomas Goller. She received a two-year ban from competitive athletics for the infraction.[3]

gollark: That's a problem because some TRIANGLE made it so that you could send POST/GET requests cross-origin *and cookies and stuff are sent with them by default*.
gollark: Are you aware of CSRF attacks?
gollark: What?
gollark: Also, I've been investigating web security thingies because I'm programming a somewhat security-sensitive application and it turns out this is all really hard due to bizarre decisions about cross-origin stuff?
