That's often when we make the difference." (monbento.com, 01 Feb 2020; tokyo2020.org, 15 Dec 2020)

OCCUPATION
She is a qualified physical education teacher. "Marie-Eve Paget and Migna Toure [her French national teammates] are also PE teachers. In 3x3 or in [5-on-5] basketball, there's hardly anyone with this kind of education. We are three of the very few with a plan for after our playing career. It requires a lot of sacrifices and mental toughness to get there on top of basketball." (fiba.basketball, 11 Sep 2019)
