She received medical attention but the doctors amputated her right arm. After that with the support of her mother and her coach, Zaseem, SAAP coach started her athletic training.

She won bronze medals in both 100m sprint and shot put under T-46 category at [[World Abilitysport Games|2023 World Abilitysport Games]], [[Nakhon Ratchasima]], Thailand. Later, on the encouragement of G. Venkateshwara Rao, President and V. Ramaswamy, General Secretary to the AP Para Sports Association she achieved several in Para Athletic events.

A knee injury prevented her from participating in Para Athletics for a few months, but she later recovered. Later, she switched to a synthetic race track in Acharya Nagarjuna University, Guntur for improved athletic training. After two years of training in ANU, Guntur, she returned to AC Subbareddy Stadium, Nellore.
