  • On how she started fencing: “It was actually my younger brother that got me into fencing. He did it for around 6-7 years before I decided to do fence as well. Before, I would just attend his tournaments or volunteer at our club’s tournaments. I was exposed to it constantly, so before my senior year of high school I decided to give it a try and now I’m on the Ohio State team.”
