Biography:
I started playing when I was eight years old as I would follow my older brother to his training sessions. Ever since then, I have always enjoyed picking up a shuttle and playing. I have been representing North Harbour since 2011 and a big reason why I continue to is because of the friendships I have made. On top of winning, I also enjoy badminton as it keeps me active which benefits my health and fitness.
