She originally played able-bodied football before she was introduced to Para sports by her friend. "He [football coach] told me I could not continue playing because of my legs. I was so angry. I stepped aside and some months later a friend made me discover Para sports. At that moment I opened my eyes and said farewell to football. I closed that chapter and forgot about it."
