Uribe tied for tenth and low amateur at the 2008 U.S. Women's Open. She played college golf at UCLA, and was an All-American First Team selection in 2008 and 2009.

Uribe joined the Duramed Futures Tour in July 2009 and competed in the ING New England Golf Classic, finishing in a tie for 15th place. At the end of the year she qualified for both LPGA and LET membership for 2010 on her first attempt.

On 29 May 2011, Uribe won the HSBC Brazil Cup, an unofficial LPGA event, defeating Lindsey Wright by one stroke.
