Other information CAREER CHOICE
Having studied landscape architecture at university, she decided to pursue fencing rather than a career away from sport after she won gold in individual epee at the 2015 Asian U23 Championships in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. "I had not considered becoming a full-time athlete until I won that gold medal. It was my first individual honour at that level. From that moment, I knew I had the potential to progress further, and I wanted to do it when I was still young and had the ability." (hk.sports.yahoo.com, 19 Sep 2022)
