Two-time world champion (400m in 2023, 4x400m mixed relay in 2022), silver medallist in the 400m in 2022.

In 2023 she created a foundation called Creando Sonrisa Eterna that aims to provide support and resources to orphaned and impoverished children in her country. “I experienced what it is like not having a father, and I have seen what orphaned children experience.”
Eh, I hope she wins :)
