Career edit

She made her main-draw debut on the WTA Tour at the 2012 Texas Open, partnering Asia Muhammad to reach the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament. The same year, she partnered Sesil Karatantcheva at the Bell Challenge; they lost their match of the first round.

During her career, she was coached by her father, Kerner Elie, and (so in her ITF profile) she preferred clay courts.
