A Bit About Me
I've been involved in the sport of fencing for over 20 years, representing Team USA and nearly qualifying for two Olympics. In 2025, the Veteran World Championships in Bahrain included the 40+ age category for the first time. I am the World Champion in the Vet 40+ Women's Epee event and lead Team USA to a silver medal in the Vet Team event. I'm looking for sponsors to help me pay for my upcoming travel and tournaments so I may defend my title at the 2026 Vet World Championships. I also cross-train in cycling, running, scuba diving, weight lifting, and hiking. Staying active is my passion and I'm proud to represent Team USA internationally in fencing.
