EARLY STRUGGLES
She considered leaving the sport after finishing high school in 2011. "I was about to quit running after I finished school. I had no money and was about to enrol at university, juggling it with work at my mother's salon. My coach left for the US and I was alone, with no one to guide me. I had no money, but a friend was willing to help me. The track was 10 kilometres from my home and you need money to make that journey every day. He told me he'd share what little he had with me and when he didn't have it, I'd just run to the track. It was a hard life, and sometimes I had to walk long, long distances to be able to train, but it paid off." (spikes.worldathletics.org, 19 Jul 2019

JOINING SPANISH CLUB
In December 2020 it was announced that she had joined the CA Playas de Castellon athletics club in Spain for the 2021 season. (mundodeportivo.com, 26 Dec 2020; superdeporte.es, 06 Feb 2021)
