Reason: "I've been playing beach volleyball since 2007. I used to play indoor volleyball, but I didn't consider myself talented, it was just for fun. It was only after I was selected to play in a beach volleyball tournament in Australia that I thought maybe I was good at this." (sista.com.vu, 26 Apr 2016)

Her journey to try and qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with partner Miller PATA was documented in the film A Fighting Chance, which showed the many challenges they faced. (sista.com.vu, 26 Apr 2016)
NEAR MISS
Almost received a late call-up to compete at Rio 2016, after missing out on qualification by one position in the world rankings.
