CHANGING TEAMS
She left BVCS, a club she had spent seven years at [outside of her time at the University of California, Berkeley] to join Ferencvarosi TC in 2019 with the intention of experiencing new training methods. "I felt I needed change because I had been at BVSC for a long time. I used a different training methodology in America and I felt that I wanted to experience something other than the BVSC training methodology. Ferencvarosi TC is a great choice for this, as it has a very good professional team working with the girls. All conditions are assured to achieve good results." (fradi.hu, 01 Aug 2019)

She moved to the United States of America to study and play water polo at the University of California, Berkeley beginning with her freshman year in 2013/14. She played her final season at the university in 2017/18. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jul 2019; calbears.com, 01 Jan 2018) |
