MOVE ABROAD
In December 2019 she relocated from Angola to Spain to play professional handball with CB Balonmano Salud in Tenerife. She played for Petro de Luanda in Angola for 16 years before the move. "It's the first time I ever played handball outside Angola. I'm enjoying my experience and have learnt a lot in my short time in Spain. They contacted me before at the world championships in Japan [late 2019], and it was an easy decision as I wanted to experience the sport in a different country."
