INTERNATIONAL DEBUT OVER EXAMS
She postponed her university exams so she could make her international debut at the 2019 African Games in Rabat, Morocco, where she went on to win silver in the +73kg category. "I was at the crossroads. I had to choose between sitting the examinations and honouring the national team call-up. I decided to take up the national team assignment and shelve my exams. I'm glad I did so because I won silver in my maiden appearance. My confidence grew, and I decided to focus my energy on taekwondo." (insidethegames.biz, 10 May 2020)
