Career

In 2016, she competed in the 2016 Pan American Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament without successfully qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympics. She lost her first match against Dorothy Yeats of Canada which meant that she could no longer become one of the top two wrestlers in her event and qualify for the Olympics.

In 2018, she won the gold medal in the 68 kg event at the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games held in Barranquilla, Colombia. Later that year she competed at the 2018 World Wrestling Championships in the 68 kg event without winning a medal. A month later she won the gold medal at the 2018 World U23 Wrestling Championship held in Bucharest, Romania.

In 2019, she won the silver medal in the 68 kg event at the 2019 Pan American Wrestling Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina[2] and later that year she won one of the bronze medals in the 68 kg event at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.[3]
