She competed at the 2019 World Fencing Championships, winning a team épée silver medal. She also fenced in 2021 in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

She was born in Novokuibyshevsk, a small town in Samara, Russia. She studied at Samara State University and the Smolensk State Academy of Physical Education. She began in ballet, ballroom dancing, and rhythmic gymnastics, before taking up fencing at the age of 12.
She like fencing immediately. As she recalled later: "At the first training session, they showed me a fencing stance, and immediately put me in a match with my twin sister. I remembered all my childhood grievances, and threw them out on the path." "I really liked it,” she laughed.
Within two years, she was competing on junior national teams. She initially met her husband, Olympic épée fencer Sergey Bida, when they were kids at fencing training camps. At the time she mostly found him annoying, and jokes now: "Some days, I remember how I hated him." They married in February 2023.
She fenced in Russia with the Samara Fencing Club.
