General
CHANGE OF DISCIPLINE
After undergoing knee surgery in 2015, she was forced to switch from 400m hurdles to running the flat 400m. "These are absolutely two different disciplines, hurdles are more of a technical kind, and flat 400 metres is about speed and endurance. Of course, I have better prospects at 400m hurdles. Since I started with this discipline, it is a little dearer to me. There are plans [to compete in hurdles again], but I will look at my health conditions, whether I can return or not." (kp.ua, 28 Apr 2019)

FURTHER EDUCATION
She has studied for a second degree at the faculty of customs control and border service at Ternopil National Economic University in Ukraine. (vk.kr.ua, 09 Jan 2020)
