Interview

Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:
Determined, ambitious, motivated, team-leading, fit

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
When I played for the U17 Bayer 04 Leverkusen team, I was allowed to practice with the women’s professional team during preseason, even though I still was a youth player. There, I learned a lot. For example, during the games in practice, I got to play as a central defender right next to Annike Krahn, who already won the Women’s World Cup with the German national team.

Describe your strengths:

I am a good defense player as I am experienced on several positions, such as central defense, defense (left and right side), and defense midfield. My strength is that I am a ball winning player and I am good at building up the play. Also, I am very good at handling the ball and equally skilled with both feet. Since I am 5.6ft tall, I am strong at headers. I am team-leading as I always lead by example, organize the play, and love to motivate my team.

Which aspects of your game do you want to improve?: I am working on scoring more goals on corners, for the reason that I am good at headers.

Anything else we should know?:
I am adaptable as I fit into new, demanding situations and I have great motivation to work very hard for my goals, never giving up. Also, for the academic aspect, I would like to study Journalism.
