Ambitions:
From my earliest days on the badminton court, I’ve been fuelled by an unwavering passion for the sport. By 18, I’ve been humbled to achieve the rank of No. 1 in Australia and 14th on the BWF World Junior Ranking. These accolades are a testament to countless hours of training and competing at both national and international levels. Beyond my personal successes, my vision is grander: to popularise badminton among Australian youth. With every swing and victory, I aim not just to further my achievements but to inspire and mentor the next generation of Australian badminton enthusiasts. Sponsors who align with me are not only supporting my journey but also investing in the future of badminton in Australia. My future badminton goals in a short run is to secure my place in the team by winning the u19 national championships and make the podium in the world junior championship coming up this october. Also making finals for the Senior Australian National Championship next year, I have gotten 3rd place for two consecutive years and I’m looking forward to working harder towards a higher place in the National championships. As well as I’m aiming to win the Oceania Championships in 2024, this year I have won the title of the junior championship so it is a good opportunity for me to set higher goals in tournaments. In addition, my badminton goal in a longer run is to be able to represent Australia to play some of the biggest tournaments such as the Thomas cup, Sudirman cup, Commonwealth Games and the super series world tour and finally, the olympics. However, not only to participate in these tournaments but to be able to reach a higher level of badminton in comparison with the players around the world that are in the more competitive countries.

Biography:
I was born in Taipei, Taiwan and moved to Australia when I was 9 for better education environment. However, I was never a studious type of person but was always keen on reaching higher level in Badminton. I started badminton in kindy and continued in primary school there in Taipei. Which as I moved to Australia I thought it’d be a good idea to continue such hobby I have as a kid, and now, what I have dedicated most of my time into for the past decade. I was very lucky to have met a group of people that supports me from alpha badminton and more importantly my coach throughout my entire career.
Interesting Fact: I eat a lot.
