Biography:
I was first introduced to badminton at the age of 6 by my mum who played when she was growing up in Indonesia. My love for the sport grew which lead to my first u15 nationals in 2017 competing for South Australia at the age of 12. When I was 14 I was Women’s double runner up at u15 nationals where I got selected for the Junior National Team. In both 2022 and 2023 U19 national I won doubles with the addition of 2023 Oceania Junior doubles winner and mixed doubles runner up which solidified my aspirations in pursuing doubles and mixed doubles, which I played in at both 2022 and 2023 World Junior Championship. My journey has been an exciting with with many opportunities and I will continue to give myself more experiences to learn from.
