She took up water polo at age 10. (bomalapitvany.hu, 21 Mar 2015)

She followed her father into the sport. "My parents never said it was mandatory for my brother and I to be water polo players. Initially the only goal was not to sit idle at home after school, but to play sports. The number one consideration was to learn to swim well. Then during a training camp I was asked to play water polo. I went to swimming and water polo training at the same time, but then my parents reasoned with me of how many more options there was in water polo."
