She was first exposed to badminton at a young age in Taiwan, occasionally playing during gym class or visiting local parks to play with family and friends. After moving to Canada, she began playing more regularly with her family at community open gyms, where her uncle introduced her to the fundamentals and provided her initial training. What started as a family pastime grew into a passion for the sport, eventually leading her to compete in local and provincial tournaments and earn several provincial titles. In 2018, she moved to Seattle for work, where she continued pursuing her passion for badminton.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"source-inline-chip-container luminous-sources hide-from-message-actions ng-star-inserted\">\u00a0<\/div><p id=\"p-rc_030e2097312efb9e-20\" dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"><span class=\"\" data-path-to-node=\"1,0\">After taking a step back from competitive badminton during her university years, she eventually found her way back to the court. Determined to improve her game, she began taking private lessons in 2023 to refine her techniques, footwork, and overall understanding of the sport. In 2025, she began coaching at Seattle Badminton Club, where she found a new way to share her passion for badminton. Drawing from her own experiences as a player, she understands that everyone&#8217;s badminton journey is different and that improvement takes patience, consistency, and dedication. She hopes to help students build confidence, strengthen their fundamentals, and discover the same enjoyment of badminton that has kept her coming back to the sport over the years.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2f1272 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2f1272\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Major Achievements<\/h2><p><b>World Morning Cup Badminton Championships<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">A\/B Women&#8217;s Singles 30+ 3<sup>rd <\/sup>place (2026)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Badmintology 14.2 x Smash Champs Grand Opening Tournament<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">C Women&#8217;s Singles\u00a02<sup>nd<\/sup> place (2025)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Washington State Closed<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">B Women&#8217;s Singles Champion (2024)<\/li><li>B Mixed Doubles Consolation Champion (2024)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>SBC Open<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">Open Women&#8217;s Doubles 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place (2024)<\/li><li>Open Women&#8217;s Singles Consolation Champion (2024)<\/li><li>C Women&#8217;s Doubles Champion (2023)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Boba Cup Team Tournament<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">Semi-Competitive Team Champion (2024)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Sonic Smash<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">B Women&#8217;s Singles\u00a03<sup>rd <\/sup>place (2024)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Husky Open<\/b><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">C Women&#8217;s Singles Champion (2022)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Washington Open<\/b><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">C Women&#8217;s Singles Champion (2022)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>San Jose Charity Badminton Tournament<\/b><\/p><ul><li class=\"\">D Mixed Doubles Champion (2016)<\/li><li>E Women&#8217;s Singles Champion (2016)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>PEI SAA &#8211;
