Lionel Messi is one of her football idols, while Asisat Oshoala is another major inspiration.

She likes playing as a striker because she loves scoring goals, although she has also played as a No. 10 and on the wing.

She scored twice in the 2023 Football4Girls final, helping Asisat Oshoala Academy win 2–1 and earning the tournament's MVP award.

She has two memorable nicknames: “Jumpy Jane” and “S9.”

Her decision to join Benfica was influenced by Christy Ucheibe, who had previously played for the Portuguese club and encouraged her to stay humble, pursue her dreams and remain a good person.
