SHIRT NUMBER
She chooses to wear the jersey number of zero. "It's a mentality. I remember being young and telling my mother that I wanted to become a basketballer, that it was my dream. And she told me, 'What are you talking about? You need to get a job'. So [the number] is a constant remainder that even my own mother doubted me and I made her believe. It's a mentality to enter the game and be an underdog. That's how it has been throughout my life." (easyendurance.wordpress.com, 19 Sep 2019)

She was undrafted in the 2015 WNBA Draft but was then signed by the Minnesota Lynx after impressing at the team's preseason training camp, and she played 13 times in the 2015 WNBA season. (wnba.com, 01 Jun 2016; primerahora.com, 24 Feb 2017)
