Biography:
My badminton journey started from the age of 7, influenced by my dad’s passion for the sport. Regular trips with my dad to some of his social matches sparked my interest in the sport, leading me to enroll at Pro Badminton Academy (PBA) where I developed my skills under professional guidance. After a year of training, I played my first tournament at the age of 8 winning the boys doubles title in the U9 age group. I started to intensify my training and at the age of 10, I earned a spot in the under 13 Victorian State team and my very first taste of a National competition. One of my proud moments was when I was selected into the National Junior Falcon squad at the age of 13. This motivated me to train harder and I earned a scholarship from the Victorian Institute of Sport. The last couple of years, I have been training really hard and built up my confidence to compete in higher age groups and international tournaments such as Oceania Championships, Bendigo International and Sydney International. I look forward to these national and international competitions as I get to gauge where my skill is at and also making new friends from around Australia and globally.
Interesting Fact: I competed in a Rubik’s cube tournament before.
