Feigin started learning to skate in 2009 at the age of five due to her father, a former hockey player, constantly bringing her to the rink with him.[3] In 2010, Feigin began training under coaches, Andrei and Ina Lutai.[1][4] That same year, she began competing internationally for Bulgaria. From November 2013 through February 2016, she competed in the advanced novice ranks.[5]
