She was French junior champion in 2008, then Under-21 champion in 2011. She won five national titles in the javelin at the French Athletics Championships, in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
She set a personal best of 59.80 m (196 ft 2+1⁄4 in) on 18 July 2014 in Monaco, but this distance did not reach the minimum distance (60 m) to participate in the Zurich European Championships. In 2015, she improved her personal best under disastrous weather conditions disastrous to 60.60 m (198 ft 9+3⁄4 in). However, she missed qualifying for the World championships in Beijing by 40 centimetres.
At the end of the 2016 season, she quit her coach, Magali Brisseault, to train at Montpellier with Jean-Yves Cochand and at Offenbourg with Werner Daniels, the coach of the legendary Christina Obergföll.[1]
