A significant turning point in her career occurred in March 2012 when she won the Miss Myanmar 2012 title.

Following this success, she secured advertisement deals and began appearing in Burmese videos and films.

She also won the Missosology’s Miss International 2012 People’s Choice Award, Pageantology.net Miss International 2012 People’s Choice Award, and the Miss Internet Award.
