At the 2016 South East Asian Cup Squash Championship in Myanmar, Aribado along with Yvonne Dalida secured the country's sole gold medal in the tournament by winning the women's jumbo double. She herself won a bronze in the individual event.[5] At the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, she and Dalida settled for silver at the women's jumbo double. She won a bronze in the women's single while helped in winning three other bronze medals.
