  • Greatest sports thrill: “My greatest sports thrill occurred during my first meet for OSU, the OSU Duals. I fenced as a substitute in a match against Cleveland State University and had a decisive win for the men’s foil squad. Everyone on the team was cheering me on and supporting me the entire match, which made the moment so surreal and special.”
