There, she played alongside her sister Emma in the A youth and 3rd League.
Her brothers are also sports enthusiasts: Mika (14) clinched the regional league championship with the ATSV Habenhausen-Bremen, and the 11-year-old Pekka represents their home club.

Now in Regensburg, she's gearing up for her economics studies and her burgeoning handball career. The university's appealing location and a young, driven team provide the perfect backdrop for her combined personal and athletic growth.
