At the beginning of the 2005 season, she made her WTA Tour singles main-draw debut at the Canberra Women's Classic, which remained her only appearance at that level. She featured in a total of 36 professional tournaments in 2005, as well as at the Summer Universiade in Turkey. Her titles in 2005 included a $25,000 tournament in Lyneham, Canberra.
