MOVE TO DORTMUND
Following the conclusion of the 2018/19 season, she made the decision to leave Danish club Kobenhavn Handbold and join German club Borussia Dortmund in order to be closer to her family. "There is nothing about the club [Kobenhavn] that made me take this decision. On the contrary, I had two good years there but I missed my family and I had to be closer to them again. I have a social life again now and never really get homesick. I just don't like being alone."
