General Interest

General
LONG JUMP OVER HIGH JUMP
In her youth she competed in both the long jump and high jump, and at the 2011 World Youth Championships in Lille, France, she won both high jump bronze and long jump gold. She began focusing solely on the long jump when she was studying at the University of Georgia, after a coach told her that competing in high jump was affecting her long jump performance.

OCCUPATION
In January 2020 she began working as a compliance coordinator at the University of Georgia Athletic Association in Athens, GA, United States of America. "It bridges the gap for me because I have first-hand knowledge of what it means to be a student-athlete. I am responsible for anything that needs to be done, but I mainly do eligibility and academics, that is I work a lot with scholarships and degree works for student-athletes."

FURTHER EDUCATION
After graduating with a bachelor's degree in financial planning and consumer economics from the University of Georgia in 2017, she completed a master's degree in kinesiology and sports management policy at the same university in 2018. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jan 2020)
