She participated in tournaments organized by the Rizal Football Association (RIFA) and played for Miriam at the Women's National Collegiate Athletic Association (WNCAA). She was named MVP in various RIFA-organized tournaments, mostly 9-a-sides, and was named to the Mythical Selection of the WNCAA from the 39th to the 41st season.
