Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
The first time I shot under par 69. To make it more special, it was a bogey free round. This made me believe in myself. Soon after, I was able to step out of my comfort zone and shoot lower scores with more confidence.
Goals:
To win a professional tournament as an amateur in India, earn a full tour card in the LPGA by 2032 and to play in the Olympics representing India.
Anything else we should know?
I enjoy working out in the gym and staying active.
