When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age eight. She switched from foil to sabre after attending a summer camp held by coach Dariusz Gilman. "It's much more exciting. Sabre fencing is much faster and more dramatic than foil."
Why this sport? "I tried so many different sports - soccer, lacrosse, ice skating - and they just didn't fit with me. I started fencing because I tried so many other sports, and I either wasn't good at them or I didn't enjoy them."
