Aiken debuted for the Jamaican national team in 2005 as a replacement for regular shooter Elaine Davis.[1] The 1.96 cm shooter rose to international prominence during the 2007 Netball World Championships.[2] In 2008, Aiken signed with the Queensland Firebirds to play in the ANZ Championship in Australia and New Zealand.[3]
