RETURN TO SPAIN
In 2012, at age 19, she was invited to the United States of America to join the training camp roster of the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA before spending two seasons with Baloncesto Rivas of the Spanish Liga Feminina. Between 2014 and 2019 she played club basketball in Turkey, France and Hungary before signing with Valencia Basket. "I wasn't planning on coming back to Spain, but when they told me about Valencia and its project it got my attention and I didn't think twice. There are a lot of players who would love to come to Valencia. Here, if you don't think too much about salaries, when you see the treatment women's basketball gets, it's very similar, almost the same as the men get. Doctors, physiotherapists, travelling, hotels, the treatment is incredible. In the end it's what makes you feel happy and comfortable, not looking at your bank account. Seeing the support women's basketball gets [in Valencia] is admirable and hopefully more teams do it. I'm proud to be a part of this."
