"I started out of curiosity and from there I started to enjoy it. It was a lot of fun. I kept training and then started competing. My passion for fencing was born during my first South American championship, the atmosphere of the competition caught my attention. With that I started to become more and more motivated."

General Interest

General
FROM CHILE TO USA
In 2014 her family moved from Chile to the United States of America. "My dad's business partner was from Houston [in Texas], so my dad was always travelling. One day I accompanied him and there was a fencing club there. Once the opportunity came, we all moved. In the US everything is very different from a cultural point of view. In Chile it was easier for me to make friends, because our Latin culture is more charismatic, so to speak. I had a hard time adjusting to that. The language issue influenced that, making it more difficult for me to meet new people and form bonds, but now [speaking in 2021] everything is fine." (as.com, 07 May 2021; latercera.com, 06 May 2021; coch.cl, 01 May 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
She plans to study business at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States of America following her high school graduation in May 2021. (latercera.com, 06 May 2021; LinkedIn profile, 17 Jan 2021)
