"I started playing tennis at first and then I took up athletics and beach volleyball at the same time, so I haven't really played indoors that much. I have always considered myself as a beach volleyball player. Volleyball is our family sport - when we come together, we play only this game." (cev.eu, 30 Jul 2018)

PARTNERSHIP
She has played internationally with her competition partner Anastasija Kravcenoka since 2013. (volleyball.world, 15 Aug 2019)

STUDYING IN THE UNITED STATES
In 2018 and 2019 she studied at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA, United States of America, where she played volleyball for the university. "Beach volleyball in the United States is a little bit different from the one we know in Europe. One of the obvious things is that we play with a different ball, but also the style of the game is a little bit different. So, I think it is good for me that I get to learn both styles, American and European, to add maybe a little more unpredictability to my way of playing."
