PERSONAL: Born February 10, 2006 ... Majoring in Psychology at Wheaton and would like to pursue a career as a Clinical Psychologist ... Daughter of Helen Shpits and Konstantin Oginsky ... Sang in school choirs for nine years and extracurricular choirs for five years ... Chose to compete for Wheaton fencing because Wheaton seemed like such a tight-knit and involved community that she really wanted to be a part of because you can really tell that everyone truly cares about you ... She also wanted to be able to continue my sport at a collegiate level, but also have the ability to focus on academics and other extracurriculars outside of just the sport.
