After competing unsuccessfully in the 2005 Ethiopian national championships, she chose to quit school and move to Addis Ababa.
There, she joined the Ethiopian Bank club.
The club already had athletes competing in the 5000 and 10000 m, so they wanted her to compete in the 3000 m steeplechase.

At the 2009 World Championships, she reached the final but finished in 13th place.
In the same year, she finished in 4th at the World Athletics Final.
