Sporting philosophy / motto
"I currently have no plan B [outside of swimming]. I hope that I will be able to stay injury-free, because my world would collapse without swimming. I can't do without sport. It's 100% what I want. Of course I want to graduate and study, but the main thing is my sport. It has always been my plan to become a professional athlete." (willy-hellpach-schule.de, 01 Aug 2019)

Other information
NEW BASE
In April 2020 she changed clubs from SV Nikar Heidelberg to SC Magdeburg in Germany. She relocated in order to be closer to her family, who live in Osterburg, Germany. "The change is primarily for family reasons. In Heidelberg I was not at peace. I felt a great need to come home again. I know that it is the right decision. I felt very comfortable in Heidelberg, but I could no longer cope with sitting for six hours on the train for a short visit to Osterburg."
