Yuly Capote

Operations assistant

Yuly joined Miami Fencing Club in 2022 and quickly fell in love with our organization after her son started training in saber with us.  With the club rapidly growing, she was asked by our President if she might be interested in helping out and, thankfully, she agreed.  Now you will see her working with our President, coaches, fencers, and families with a wide variety of operational tasks vital to hosting a successful fencing practice.  Her energy and and love for the sport and our fencers are going to help us bring our club and fencers to the next level.

Dorothy Contiguglia-Akcan MD

President

Dr. C started fencing foil at Tulane University Fencing Club during her undergraduate college years.  She had to put fencing aside for a few years when she decided to go to medical school, but she was finally able to come back to her favorite sport when she joined Miami Fencing Club in 2021.  She followed her coach's advice and switched from fencing foil to saber in 2022, and saber is now her favorite weapon.  In August 2022, she became President of her club.  Not only does Dr. C serve as club President, she also teaches the Introduction to Fencing Class and trains in Saber with Miami Fencing Club's amazing coaches.  Her goals are to support her coaches and fencers so they may be successful on and off of the fencing piste, increase diversity in the sport of fencing, and create and maintain a non-toxic and supportive environment for athletes, their families, and Miami Fencing Club staff.  You can reach her at President@miamifencing.club.
