Her best performance on the WTA Tour was a quarterfinal appearance at the 1989 Fernleaf Classic in Wellington.[2]
In 1989, she reached a career high 106 in the world and appeared that year in the main draw of all four Grand Slam tournaments. She made the third round of the 1989 French Open, where she beat world No. 35, Terry Phelps, and Japan's Kimiko Date, before losing in three sets to ninth seed Katerina Maleeva.[3]
