In 2011 she faced the WAKO world titlist Silvia La Notte, during Night Kick Out 5. She suffered her first professional loss, by way of DQ.[16]
Following this loss, she went on a seven fight winning streak, culminating with a fight versus Barbara Bontempi for the WBC Muaythai International title. She won the fight in the fourth round by TKO.[17]
After a win against Dakota Ditcheva,[18] she faced Monica Santos for the ISKA world flyweight title. She won the fight in the third round by KO.[19]
