"Ever since I was a little kid I always wanted to go to the Olympics. So, first it was for running, and then I tried karate. A friend recommended fencing because we used to sword fight in the backyard. I went to my first practice, and I beat this kid who had been fencing for a year. I was so competitive that it was enough to keep me going." (olympicchannel.com, 30 Aug 2018; olympic.ca, 26 Nov 2016, 22 Aug 2016)

General
EYES ON TOKYO
She graduated from Ohio State University in the United States of America in 2018 and began training as a full-time athlete ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games. "Going to Tokyo [2020 Olympic Games] would be super cool. My dad lived in Japan for four years, so I've been before, but not since I was like five or six." (olympicchannel.com, 30 Aug 2018)

OCCUPATION
In October 2020 she launched her own online clothing store. She has also worked as a coach at the Toronto Fencing Center in Ontario, Canada. (Facebook profile, 08 Oct 2020; LinkedIn profile, 01 Sep 2020)

VEGAN DIET
She began eating a vegan diet at age 12. Her fencing coach at the time required her to submit blood work to prove she was getting the nutrients necessary to train and compete. "I feel like if anything [a vegan diet] helps me because you have to be super aware all the time of what you're eating, you can't just pig out on a random thing placed in front of you. I think that's a good way to be if you're vegan or not. Better still, on this diet I always found I had more energy." (thelantern.com, 25 Oct 2017)
