This experience helped me in my second South American Junior Championship (Sucre-Bolivia), in which I got third place in the team event and 10th in the individual and also in my first Women Epee World Cup in Rio de Janeiro-Brazil. The knowledge that I learned at the NWFC was extremely important for me during my competitions this year."
