When we first arrived to Australia in 2002 and we were establishing in our new home. A letter come from Ryde Sydney” Aquatic Centre”. Asking if my sister and I we were able to swim my mom said yes and then the stuff from the pool want to see us. We swam just okay then they turn to see my mom. They said immediately we were “beginners”. And that’s how I started my career as a swimmer.

As the years went by I competed in many completions while I was living in Sydney. Then we come to NZ I was involved in many squads & I attend in numerous completions now I am I C squad and training 4 days a week for 1 hour. I travelled to Taiwan to represent NZ. I come home with Gold. Silver & Bronze. My goal is to attend the Special Olympics to travel and breaking records. My career as a swimmer will end when I turn 30 years old and after that I will rest with my other passion Photography.
