She made her international cycling debut at the 2010 UCI Paracycling Road World Championships in Canada. In 2012, she competed at the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Los Angeles, United States and finished fourth in the Women's Individual Time Trial and fifth in the 3km Pursuit.

[2] O'Connor and Hargrave won bronze medals in the Women's Tandem Sprint B and Women's Tandem 1km Time Trial B at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. At the 2015, UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Apledoorn, Netherlands, O'Connor and Hargrave won a silver medal in the Women’s Tandem Sprint and fifth in the Women 1km Time Trial. [7]
