About me
Quick Version
I started fencing at seven. My first tournament was a disaster. The second was slightly less of one. Somewhere in that gap between losing and learning, I fell completely in love with the sport.
Seven years later — national ranking, Summer Nationals top 6, Team USA at Pan Am Youth, B Rating. It came from showing up, every time, even when it wasn't going well.
