Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
My best moment was in 2018 when I was playing the most important tournament of my season, the National Championship. After three rounds, I was in third place with one round left to play. This tournament was very important, not only for the title but also for the selection to the Evian Championship. I knew that in order to be selected I had to be in the top 2. I went into the last day of the tournament knowing that I was eight shots behind second place. I was very determined to get that second place and I played every shot to the best of my ability. I finished my round with a series of birdies and finished the tournament in second place and a few strokes better than the girl in third place!
Goals:
My goal is to attain my highest level of golf, to continue to receive the best possible education, and to become an excellent student-athlete!
Anything else we should know?
I have had the opportunity to play for many teams, such as the national team, which was always a great honor for me. I love playing golf as a team and being able to be a leader. It always feels great when there is a good team spirit and when you are able to accomplish things as a team!
