Interview

Give us 5 words that best describe you as an athlete:

diligent, generous, kind, dedicated, strong

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:

Winning the gold medal for shot put at the Twizza Super Schools Series. The Twizza Super Schools Series was a major competition to determine the best track and field school in the country and it was also my first televised competition. There were a lot of schools from across the country and the atmosphere was electric. What made the win even more special, was that I competed as a 16-year old against a year older age group.

Goals:

My short term track and field goals are to work my way up to the number 1 in the world with shot put and top 10 in the world with discus in the under 18 age group. After that I would like to be part of a strong college team. Long term I would like to compete internationally and someday win an Olympic medal. My academics also remain very important for me and I look forward to studying at a good school. Long term, I would like to continue with post graduate studies and maybe even get a PhD in math or science. I also want to travel as much as I can and see the world, and one way or another I want to change the world!

Anything else we should know?

I love to read and know my way around the kitchen. I also bake and sell cookies for some extra money. I have won the Victrix Ludorm Award (best girls athlete) at multiple competitions. I am also in the top 5 academically in my grade.
