Nemzeti Bajnoksag I [HUN] (mksz.hu, 04 Feb 2020)

She took up the sport at age 11. (la1ere.francetvinfo.fr, 22 Mar 2016)

She was initially involved in athletics but wanted to play in a team sport, so switched to handball. "I practised the 100m, the long jump and the hammer throw, but I didn't have that spark anymore. I wanted to find a team spirit, to share something with teammates. There are many similarities between athletics and handball such as the runs and the impulse. I also realised that high performance would be more within my reach in handball than in athletics." (NOC Media Guide, 2016; lasemaine.fr, 12 May 2017)

In 2016 she was presented with the honorary medal of the French Guiana Territorial Collectivity. (ctguyane.fr, 20 Dec 2016)

She was named Best Defender of the 2016 European Championship in Sweden. (swe2016.ehf-euro.com, 18 Dec 2016)

She was named Best Defender of the 2014/15 French Women's Handball Championship. (sport4final.de, 31 Jan 2019)

WATCHING FILM
She says watching footage of her opponents is an important part of her defensive preparation before a match. "Watching film is important for me. I do not look at my mistakes but how the rival plays. I try to know everything to the very detail. A player has always some habits, essential ones, and they all came out when it's crunch time within a game." (lasemaine.fr, 12 May 2017)

FROM FRENCH GUIANA TO FRANCE
Born in Paris, France, her family relocated to French Guiana where she grow up in the city of Mana. At age 11 her parents decided to return to France. (lasemaine.fr, 12 May 2017)
