During the Season 78 of the UAAP, she suffered an injury in her right knee[5] that kept her out of the court for two weeks, but she returned playing as a libero before returning to the opposite spiker position[6] to contribute to the UAAP Season 78 Championship for De La Salle University.[7][8]
She also played in the 18th Nestea Beach Intercollegiate Beach Volleyball with Kim Fajardo in 2015, replacing Fajardo's previous partner, Ara Galang[9] winning the silver medal after losing 1-2 to the University of Santo Tomas representatives, the Rika Rivera and Cherry Rondina duro.[10] With Kim Fajardo she won the 2015 UAAP's beach volleyball tournament, the first ever for De La Salle University.[11]
