She competed in the swimming competition at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games where she won a gold and bronze medal respectively in the 400m Freestyle S11 and 200-meter Individual Medley S11. An S11 athlete is the most severe form of visual impairment. S11 swimmers all swim with blacked-out goggles to ensure a level playing field, blocking out all light so it's like swimming with a blindfold. She will be competing in the 400m Freestyle S11 at the 2024 Paralympic Games this summer in Paris, France.
