From my very first international experience at the 2021 Asian Youth Para Games in Bahrain where I was honored to win three gold medals and one silver, my journey in para-swimming has been both challenging and rewarding.

I remain humbled by the support and encouragement from SLIIT, which drives me to push my limits. Earning a silver medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Para Games further reinforced my belief in myself and my hard work. I am deeply thankful for SLLIT for every opportunity to learn and improve, and I continue to strive for excellence in what I do.
