She also took part in the competitions over 400 meters, but was eliminated there with 52.55 s in the first round .

In 2018 she started at the European Championships in Berlin and was eliminated there with 55.81 seconds in the semifinals. The following year she won the bronze medal at the Summer Universiade in Naples in 56.13 seconds behind the Italian Ayomide Folorunso and Zenéy van der Walt from South Africa. At the beginning of October she reached the semi-finals at the World Championships in Doha , where she was eliminated with 55.03 s.
