Type of Impairment
Limb deficiency (ouest-france.fr, 28 Mar 2015)

Origin of Impairment
Acquired (ouest-france.fr, 28 Mar 2015)

Impairment Details
Her impairment is a result of complications after she twisted her ankle getting off her bike in 2007. The injury gradually became worse, with the tendons retracting and her foot becoming malformed. After the pain became so intense that she was unable to place her foot on the ground, she had an amputation in 2011. "The pain was so bad that I asked for my right foot to be amputated. However, it took two years to get it done as no surgeon would do it." (letelegramme.fr, 01 Jun 2016; ouest-france.fr, 28 Mar 2015)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She has coached children's cycling at the Velo Sport Drennecois club in Le Drennec, France. She has also served as a member of the Brittany Regional Para Sport Committee and the Finistere Cycling Committee, both in France. (letelegramme.fr, 01 Jun 2016; actu.fr, 06 Jul 2021)
