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]

Her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in August 2016. In March, she competed at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. She was ranked 25th in the short program and missed the cutoff for the free skate.
