She won her first ITF title in 2001 at Tortosa, where she had a win over Svetlana Kuznetsova en route. In 2003, she won two further ITF events, including a $25,000 level tournament in Ostrava. She featured in the women's doubles main draws at the 2003 and 2004 French Opens. Ranked as high as 118 in singles, she made her only WTA Tour main draw appearance at Hasselt in 2004.[1] She received a wildcard into the 2005 Australian Open and lost a close first-round match to Tatiana Perebiynis, 5–7 in the third set.[2]
