Career

Oropeza started playing badminton at aged 14. She actually playing tennis since she was eight. She made the change because her mother asked her to find another sport where she was less exposed to the sun.[2] In 2014, she competed at the Central American and Caribbean Games and she won gold in the mixed doubles event and two bronze medals in the women's doubles and mixed team events.[3] In 2015, she participated at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada.[4] She won the mixed doubles event at the Giraldilla International tournament in 2014 and 2017 with different partner.[5][6]
