She was invited to do the senior World Cup 3x3 and officiated the women’s bronze medal game. She also did the Under-23 World Cup and officiated the men’s bronze medal match. Okatch also officiated at the AfroBasket and officiated the bronze medal game.

First African to officiate at the 3x3 World Cup. I was also the first African to officiate at the World Tour games," she said.
