She adds during the Digicel Punjas Reset Netball Championship, she found a way to balance both training and studies.

“I’ve been having a timetable for studying and extra training because we train in the morning and in the afternoon I go back to study. The older players in the team Episake (Kahatoka), Afa (Rusivakula) and them, they moulded me to become a better player and they’ve been encouraging me every time when we train”.

The youngster says she didn’t expect to make the squad because she’s young.
