Biography:
I started playing badminton at a young age as both parents played semi competitively. I was given the opportunity to play multiple sports when I was younger and then specialized in badminton as I enjoyed it the most. Having such supportive people in my life like family, friends, coaches, and association has meant that I’ve been able to improve and experience things not many others have. I’ve been to multiple countries through badminton and been able to experience their different cultures and training programs. I am looking forward to see what my future has in store, where I will go, and will continue to strive and grow as a player.
Interesting Facts: I’m not sure if it’s a special talent but I can make a really loud clicking sound with my tongue 🙂
