She struggled with a back injury in mid-2019. (nordkurier.de, 09 Jul 2019)

She took up athletics at the SG Gaselan Furstenwalde club in Germany. She began focusing on the discus at age 15, in 2011. (moz.de, 24 Oct 2011; leichtathletik.de, 16 Feb 2016)

She was originally an athletics all-rounder before focusing on the discus. "Coach [Dieter] Kollark knew my coach Joachim Weihrich from my first club, Furstenwalde, and became aware of me. I then came to a trial training session where he [Kollark] saw my potential, and it was fun right away. Since I am prone to injuries, I was better sticking to throwing disciplines."
