In 2024, she won silver in the 10 m air pistol at the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championships in Jakarta, becoming the first Pakistani woman to earn a direct Olympic berth. Her direct qualification marked a milestone in Pakistan’s female Olympic shooting, building on the foundation laid by Minhal Sohail, who represented Pakistan at the 2016 Rio Olympics through a quota spot. She also took bronze in the mixed team event with Gulfam Joseph. At the Paris Olympics, she competed in three events, finishing 31st (10 m air pistol), 22nd (25 m pistol), and 14th (mixed team), but did not reach the finals.
