She began competing in athletics in middle school. (teamusa.org, 01 May 2015)

She competed in sprinting events before her school athletics coach Kenny Lopez suggested she try long jump. "He talked to me about it and I wasn't interested, but when he said I could be so good at it that I could go to college for free, I got interested in a hurry. Because of my family situation [she was the first in her family to go to university] I didn't think there was a way to go to college, but I found a way thanks to the long jump."
