Career
Pliego became interested in fencing at the age of four after watching a fencing scene in The Parent Trap. She was too small to train at the time, but persisted in her interest and eventually took courses with her sister. She started to compete when she was a teenager. After she earned her first medals at the Mexican national championships, she trained at the Oregon Fencing Alliance, alongside twice-Olympic champion Mariel Zagunis.
