2007 for Kenya (kenyandigest.com, 08 Jul 2021)

"I was playing football and was on my way to playing for the national team. My friends were the inspiration for me to join rugby. Former Lionesses [Kenya women's sevens] captain Doreen Remour, who was also a former football player who we used to compete with from time to time played a major role in luring me into rugby."

General
CAPTAIN FOR TOKYO
She was named captain of the Kenya women's sevens team for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "It is first and foremost an honour and a privilege to lead the national team but it's also added responsibility on my part. It's carrying the weight of the nation on your back. It's being a leader and a role model. It's both fun and demanding in equal measure. You have to lead from the front, both in the good and bad times. Everyone will never agree with you all the time but they will always respect you if you lead by example. It's never easy and people expect you to be perfect and always have solutions for everything, which is never the case. As a leader sometimes it's lonely as you try to ensure that the team is focused and that you are all focusing towards the desired goal. Being a captain in Kenya is not for the faint hearted but when we go out there and represent the nation and come back victorious, the feeling is unmatched." (kru.co.ke, 16 Dec 2020)

COACHING
She has served as a strength and conditioning coach with the KCB Volleyball Club in Kenya. She is also a qualified football and rugby coach. (Facebook profile, 05 Jul 2021; kru.co.ke, 16 Dec 2020)
