She met wrestling coach Paolo Gumal Delos Santos during her sports studies at Republic Polytechnic in Singapore, and then went to wrestling trial classes. "He told me that they had a competition two weeks after that, so I signed myself up. I learnt one wrestling move and then, boom, that was it. Then I won my first wrestling medal. Everybody was telling me I had potential, so why not put my focus into wrestling?" (The Straits Times YouTube channel, 03 Sep 2020; sg, 29 Aug 2020)

Philosophy:

"What I really like about an individual sport like wrestling is that you reap what you sow. When the whistle blows, it's just between me and my opponent, and it boils down to how well I use what I have learnt over the months of training. You really learn about fighting through difficulties, and how to be at 100% commitment all the time. To be able to see progress after all the hard work, it really motivates me a lot to deal with all the stuff in my life." (sg, 29 Aug 2020)

General
TOUGH CHILDHOOD
When she was a young child her father was abusive and left the family when she was age eight. Her older brother also got into trouble with the law, and she had to find work to help her mother support the household. "I just believe that, whatever I experienced in the past - whether with my family or with the lack of achievement I had when I was younger - they made me the person that I am today. Without those experiences, I don't think I'll be able to channel the same kind of motivation I have, or the same kind of willingness to do the sport. It just made me a tougher person. It really made me who I am today." (The Straits Times YouTube channel, 03 Sep 2020; sg, 29 Aug 2020; chatrisityodtong, 01 Jan 2020)
