She picked the sport up quickly, накапливая 9-1 record during a brief amateur career in which she won the New York Golden Gloves title in 2008.

В 2014, she went to Argentina and defeated Maria Elena Maderna to become a world champion at lightweight. Her world title climb continued in February when she stopped Olivia Gerula in the first round to capture her featherweight championship.
