When I was 17 years, I transitioned from basketball to rugby and got hooked! I decided to get the young people in my village more involved. But for this to happen, I needed to deepen my skills, so I trained to be a coach, strength and conditioning coach, first aider and a referee. With this knowledge acquired, I returned to my village to create a school and a rugby club. My goals are to develop women’s rugby across the country by organizing youth tournaments. Now, I’m also a coach trainer and nothing can stop me.

FESTIVE MESSAGE: I wish you all a Merry Christmas and an Excellent New Year filled with happiness and prosperity. Long live African Rugby!
