COLLEGIATE CAREER
She competed in athletics at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, United States of America between 2014 and 2018 and credits her time at the university with helping her learn the art of racing. "It was definitely one of the best decisions ever. It was important for me to learn how to race, because I didn't know how to race before. It took a while to get going. I knew it would take a few months but I didn't know it would take as long as it did." (fastrunning.com, 02 Jan 2020; villanova.com, 01 Jan 2018)
