About myself
Growing up playing badminton from the age of 11, I have always been extremely fond of the sport and have strived to grow the sport within my community, by not only playing, but by coaching and encouraging others to learn the sport.
I was coached in my youth at Harwood Phoenix Badminton, and competed in the COBA (regional) and BON (provincial) circuits. I competed and played within the OCAA Badminton circuit, playing for Fleming College for 3 years. During that time I received coaching from the Peterborough Badminton Club as well as Ridges Badminton. After completing those circuits, I have been coaching youth badminton at local high schools for over a decade, trying to grow the sport within my community and region.
I am passionate about the sport of badminton and wish to pass along that passion to following generations.
