About
Joanna discovered the transformative power of passion at a young age. Although she was initially uninterested in badminton, she persevered through early challenges and setbacks and found her love for the game. Within two years, she transformed from someone who faced early-round exits into a consistent top-three performer in her cohort.
She has proudly represented Raffles Girls’ Primary School, Raffles Girls’ Secondary School, Raffles Institution, and now the National University of Singapore, showing her unwavering dedication to the sport. Her love for badminton continues to grow, inspiring her to share her passion and experience with others.
