She placed seventh in the junior race at the 2006 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and finished fourth at the 2006 World Junior Championships.
She emerged quickly as a junior (under-19) runner with an African Junior Championships double in the 1500 metres and the 3000 metres. She was a junior bronze medalist at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships in 2008. She moved away from middle-distances in 2009 and began competing in half marathons and marathons.
Her marathon best is 2:25:53 hours.
Emebt"s first international races for Ethiopia came when she was fifteen. She was runner-up in the 5000 metres at the East African Championships and was the 1500 m bronze medallist at the 2005 African Junior Athletics Championships.
She also came sixth at that year"s Great Ethiopian Run. At the 2007 IAAF World Cross Country Championships she finished 19th in the junior race after miscalculating the number of laps left and later had to be stretchered off the course due to heat exhaustion in the torrid Mombasa weather.
She was runner-up at the end-of-year BOClassic race in Italy, second only to Sylvia Kibet.
She also ran in her first senior level event, coming seventh at the 2008 African Championships. In her first year as a senior athlete in 2009 she began to make appearances on the European track and field circuit and improved her 3000 m best to 8:49.28 minutes. Having failed to improve upon her 1500 m performances as a young teenager, she turned her talents towards the longer distances.
Emebt"s debut over the marathon distance proved to be relatively low key as she came tenth at the 2010 Vienna City Marathon with a time of 2:36:29 hours.
She also performed well in her road debut for Ethiopia, coming fifth and taking the team gold medal at the 2012 World Half Marathon Championships.
