Biography:
My dad would play badminton on a Saturday and when I was 5 years old, I tagged along to watch and play some rallies with him when all the uncles were resting. I was enjoying the game a lot and wanted to get better, so when I was 10 Years old I started to take training more seriously and compete in local Under 12 Tournaments.
I played many competitions as a junior and every time I would lose in a competition it would push me to get better. Since then I have accomplished some of my early ambitions by representing New Zealand on the world stage, becoming an Oceania Champion and National Champion.
Interesting Fact:
I’ve been eating plant-based since 2018.
