Born in Romania, Ecaterina arrived in Canada the next year, when her parents decided to immigrate. Cătălin Guică, three times national champion in judo in Romania and the father of two daughters, Ecaterina and Georgiana, came to Canada with the thought to become coach of judo. He managed to open in the end the judo club Olympique in Brossard.[5]
In June 2016, she was named to Canada's Olympic team.[6]
