I whanau mai i Sendafa i te rohe o Oromia o Etiopia, i tiimata a Meseret i tana mahi rere i te huarahi i te 2008. I riro ia hei kaihauturu i te Marseille-Cassis Classique Internationale i taua tau ka hoki mai ki te wikitoria i te tau i muri mai. I tiimata ia ki te whakatuu i a ia ano hei kaihauturu rangatira i te tau 2009 me nga wikitoria i te Crazy 8s 8K Run me te Wharf ki te Wharf Race me te mutunga o te kaihauturu i te Peachtree Road Race. Ko te hawhe marathon te mea pai rawa atu i a ia, i te mea ko ia te tuatoru i te Virginia Beach Half Marathon i mua i tana wikitoria i te Reims Half Marathon i roto i te pai o te 69:45 meneti. I taua tau ano he taiohi, i oma ano ia i te IAAF World Cross Country Championships 2009
ka noho ki te tuaiwa i te whakataetae rangatahi.
