She won a gold, two silver and a bronze at the 2005 FINA World Cup and was a double bronze medallist at the Australian Short Course Championships.
She finished fourth in the 200m Butterfly and won her first ever National open long course medal when she came third in the 400m Freestyle at the Telstra Trials in Melbourne, 2006.
