Okulu was the only scorer against Fiji in their placing match at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast.[2] She also played a crucial role in her team's qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo as she was a dependable try-scorer during their qualifiers in Tunisia.[2]

In 2021, Okulu made her fifteens debut in the Lionesses 2021 Rugby World Cup qualifying match against Colombia in Nairobi.[3][4] She scored five points from a conversion, and a penalty in her side's loss.[5]

Okulu signed with the Japanese, Kitakyushu-based, club Nagato Blue Angels on a six-month contract in the beginning of 2023.[6][7] She was named in Kenya's fifteens squad on 3 October 2023 for the inaugural WXV 3 tournament that will be held in Dubai.[8][9]
