"Competition was quiet tough and unfortunately I won a silver medal but it is a great experience and one I hope to use to motivate me in other tournaments," she said.
The Tailevu lass lost to Team Papua New Guinea in the final of the Taekwondo Women's 62kg final.
"It was very tough but I am glad for the opportunity to experience this level of competition and hopefully I learn from this and better myself at each tournament I participate in," she said.
Fellow teammate Tanisha Chand also settled for silver following her 46kg final in Taekwondo.
Both athletes are participating at their very first Pacific Games and hope to use the tournament as a learning block for future tournaments.
