Sport Specific Information |
| When and where did you begin this sport? |
She first tried fencing at age 10 while she was a pupil at Hereford Cathedral Junior School in England. She began to take the sport more seriously a few years later at Millfield School in Somerset, England. |
| Why this sport? |
"[It] really started by accident when I was at Millfield School. I fell off my pony before I started boarding there and hurt my leg. It meant that I missed hockey trials because I was still having physio and had to sign up for another sport. I tried fencing and found I enjoyed it." |
