I have been lucky enough to photograph five editions of the Summer Olympics, three editions of the Winter Olympics and four editions of the Summer Paralympics.

Since 2014 I have been working for the FIE, the International Fencing Federation. I come to China often, with this being my fifth time coming to Wuxi since 2018.

In 2018 I also celebrated my birthday here in Wuxi.

Last week at the 2025 FIE Women's Epee World Cup in Wuxi, a Chinese friend gifted me a clay figurine - a signature cultural treasure of the city. I've long admired these figurines and have built quite a collection at home, often sharing them as meaningful gifts with friends.
