Biography:
My mom introduced me to this sport, at first I thought it was pretty boring. Till I joined my first tournament, it made me realize how fun it was. After that I decided to pursue it so I when I had time I would work on skills and other stuff. After a few years I joined the Highschool Division known as the Interscholastic andI performed really well. Since then I kept training and was able to play in the U17 Mixed Tournament in Australia, Geelong and we were able to get 3rd place after that I was able to participate in the world juniors mixed team and individual in China, Nanchang it was a wonderful experience.
