At the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland, she won her first silver in the women's 400-metre individual medley, finishing behind fellow Australian Suzie Landells.[2] Four years later when Auckland, New Zealand hosted the 1990 Commonwealth Games, she qualified for both individual medley events.[2] In the 200-metre individual medley, she came second behind Canadian Nancy Sweetman, and in the 400-metre individual medley event she was runner-up to Australian Hayley Lewis.[2]
