She's a Ortho Resident, US National Champion, Team USA Fencer, Olympic Alternate 2021, and Blogger ( @saberandastethoscope). WHEW! Kamali Thompson is one for accomplishments, especially living her life as the underdog, graduated high school two years earlier and didn't start fencing until her later years (something that competitors of her caliber started from a young age). But, as Kamali shows, it doesn't matter what age or level you come in; all that counts is the plan and effort.
