In 2010, she returned to Switzerland and joined the sport army, where she played for the BC Uzwil. She later moved to Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany and played for the 1.BV Mülheim in the first bundesliga.

At the Olympic Games 2008 in Beijing she reached the second round, losing to Anna Rice of Canada.[5] In 2016, she did not advance to the elimination round after placing third in the group stage.
