She began playing wheelchair basketball at age 15. (Athlete, 22 Aug 2021)

"During my rehabilitation I was told that I had to do something active, and they recommended that I do sports. I initially resisted it, as I had not done much sports before, but then I went to a wheelchair basketball group and really enjoyed it. So in a way, I was forced into it by chance."

Impairment Details
At age 13 she woke up one day with back pain, and soon was unable to move her legs. Doctors diagnosed spinal cord inflammation. "Nobody knows where it came from. But everything in my life changed suddenly." (spiegel.de 31 Aug 2012)

OCCUPATION
She studied occupational therapy and works as a therapist in Hamburg, Germany. "I think I can offer my patients a lot because of my personal experiences. It would be different if a person who is not in a wheelchair stands in front of them and says, 'Don't act like that'. I am a good example to them that if you really want to achieve something, you can." (Facebook profile, 06 Jul 2019; m.tagesspiegel.de, 09 Aug 2016)
