MOVE TO KAILUA-KONA
In early 2020 she decided to move from the Federated States of Micronesia to Kailua-Kona, HI, United States of America. She made the switch after the postponement of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo to increase her training workload under coach Dave Gibson at the Kona Community Aquatic Center. "The extra year has been really important for me, as I began to enjoy swimming more and I gained a different perspective on it. Moving to Kona during this extra year really changed how I trained for the better." (hawaiinewsnow.com, 18 Jul 2021)
