She began fencing her freshman year at Teaneck High School and became a member of the Peter Westbrook Foundation (New York City, NY) in 2006.

During her four years as a Temple Owl, she went on to become a four-time NCAA Championship qualifier, a second team All-American, and the first four-time NIWFA conference champion. Her performance inside the classroom and on the fencing strip earned the title of Student Athlete of the Year at Temple University twice (2011, 2012).

Dr. Kamali graduated from Temple University with honors, a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. Post-graduation, she matriculated into RWJMS and began competing internationally for Team USA. She is a 14 time national medalist, an internationalist team medalist and the 2016 National Champion.
