Biography:
I’m an Indonesian, born and raised in Australia. Every Sunday, my parents used to take me and my sister to the badminton courts, where we would sit and watch them play badminton. One day I decided to give badminton a try, not knowing it would eventually become a significant part of my life. I started training for fun at the age of 8 and then entered my first tournament in 2015 where I got absolutely wrecked. I kept training, then eventually took badminton seriously around the end of 2016. In 2017, I joined Nbc, where I finally started winning tournaments. Now, it’s become a big part of my life.
Interesting Fact:
I could’ve also become a swimmer (if i didn’t nearly drown in a swimming race)
