COACHING CHANGE
In 2019 she began working with Polish coach Tomasz Lewandowski, who reached out to her to join his training group. "He was looking for strong people for his training group and approached me because he still sees a lot of potential in me. He has the feeling that I haven't reached my full potential by some distance. I had the feeling that I needed a change." When in Germany, she also does some training with Detlef Muller. "It's nice to have someone by your side who knows you so well." (leichtathletik.de, 10 Mar 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
After she graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology at the Free University of Berlin in Germany, she went on to study a master's in the same subject at the same university. (leichtathletik.de, 10 Mar 2020; leichtathletik.de, 27 Nov 2019)
