She represented her nation Honduras at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has owned a Honduran record each in both 50 and 100 m freestyle, which were eventually set by Julimar Avila in 2013.

Swimming as the fastest entrant in heat five, Fajardo pulled away with a magnificent effort from a scorching field to hit the wall first in a Honduran record and a lifetime best of 27.19. Fajardo failed to advance to the semifinals, as she placed fifty-first overall out of ninety-two swimmers in the prelims.
