Biography:
I started badminton 3 years ago. I’d played before, but just for fun. I started training a little and I loved it straight away. Since then I’ve been training all the time and I intend to continue. Thanks to badminton, I’ve also met some very nice people who are probably my best friends today. Last year, I was able to take part in the Pacific U17 challenge and I’m back to the Oceania Junior Championships 2025 even more motivated.
Interesting Fact:
I’ve quickly developed a good technique since I started, and thanks to my solid physique, I’ve progressed a lot in 3 years.
