Sport Specific Information
When and where did you begin this sport? She began fencing at age seven.
Why this sport? "I started my athletic career as a rhythmic gymnast, like my mum. Unfortunately, I was bullied a lot in gymnastics. Luckily, however, I saw fencing in the room next door and thought that it looked like more fun. Turns out I was right and haven't looked back since."
