General
TOKYO JOURNALISM PLANS
After her illness at age 15, she decided to study journalism as a way of staying involved in sport. She initially set her sights on working as a journalist at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo before taking up sitting volleyball in 2019. "I was expecting to participate at the Paralympic Games covering as a journalist, but this possibility to be in Japan as an athlete, with so little time in sport is something that gives me extra gas."
