When and where did you begin this sport? She took up the sport at age nine in Tunis, Tunisia.
Why this sport? She grew up in an active family. "My mother was a fencer, my father was a physical education teacher and basketball coach. I have four sisters and a brother, so to not leave us at home, my mother took us with her to training and little by little the coaches started to teach us."

Other information EARLY CAREER
She switched from foil to epee in 2006 as she felt the latter suited her natural style. "I did 11 years in foil, then I decided to change to epee in 2006 because my character is better for epee. All three weapons have different characteristics. I liked foil at the beginning, but I found I was a little slow for foil." (FIE Fencing Channel YouTube channel, 11 Feb 2016)
