General
MOVE TO UNITED STATES
In 2019 she announced that she would be moving to the University of Alabama for the 2020/21 season, where she will play alongside several German players. "I chose to go to Alabama because it offers the best training opportunities, and I have the opportunity to connect studying and basketball in the best way possible. This opportunity would have been difficult in Germany. The game mode in the intercollegiate league is different than in the German league. I'm used to playing single game days and in the intercollegiate league it's going to be like little tournaments, which means whole weekends with up to four games. That will be a very different physical effort, compared to only having one game and having to regenerate from that game. The biggest difference will probably be that I'm used to playing in mixed teams and in Alabama it will be a pure women's team. Of course, I'm really looking forward to playing with Babsi [Barbara Gross], Kate [Katharina Lang] and Selina [Rausch], because they were one of the main reasons I chose to come to Alabama."
