Kadogan initially highlighted her sporting debut at the 2003 European U23 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, where she unleashed the ball at a third-place distance of 16.72 to round out the podium, finishing behind the gold medalist Natallia Kharaneka of Belarus by nearly a full meter.[3][4]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Kadogan qualified for the Turkish squad on her senior stint in the women's shot put. A year earlier, she attained her season best and an Olympic B-standard entry mark of 17.16 metres from the European Cup League Series in Sofia, Bulgaria.[5][6] During the prelims, Kadogan launched a 15.20-metre shot into the field on her opening attempt to obtain a thirty-fourth spot from a roster of thirty-eight athletes in the overall standings, failing to advance further to the final round.[7][8]
