Originally from Flensburg in the north German state of Schleswig-Holstein, she moved to the German capital because of the better training conditions in Berlin's Mellowpark.[1]
She finished second at the 2017 UCI Freestyle BMX World Championships and won the gold medal at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Argentina in the mixed team event with Evan Brandes.[2] She also won rounds in Croatia and China at the UCI World Cup Series.[3]
