General
SUPER SPIKES
In 2021 she parted ways with her sponsor of six years as the company had not developed a pair of 'super spikes', which are believed to give athletes a competitive advantage. "I think everyone is aware that there have been a lot of shifts in the footwear technology and a lot of companies rushing to get out prototypes, and not every company is able to get them out quite as fast [partly because of supply chain delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic]. My previous sponsor gave us the permission to wear other footwear and to be free agents if we thought that was a better fit." (womensrunning.com, 18 Jun 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
Between 2013 and 2015 she completed a master's degree in sports industry management at Georgetown University in the United States of America. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Mar 2015)
