I was born in a small town with limited resources. My mother, my two brothers, and I lived in the house of a generous family who provided us with shelter, food, and support. My mother worked as a domestic worker for them, and we helped her with the house chores. This was our home until I finished high school and decided to move to Sucre, the capital of Bolivia, with the goal of continuing my education and pursuing a career in professional badminton. Thanks to the help of some school friends, I was able to find temporary accommodation until I could support myself financially.
My Introduction to Badminton
During my final year of university, a teacher introduced me to the sport of badminton. Having been involved in various sports such as basketball, futsal, football, and volleyball, I was always passionate about athletics. However, it was badminton that truly captured my heart. I was determined to become a professional badminton player and dedicated myself to mastering the sport. Simultaneously, I started coaching and working with junior athletes in Sucre. Badminton not only changed my life but also taught me valuable lessons about determination, setting goals, and discipline. Today, I am proud to be a Level 1 coach, Shuttle Time Teacher and Tutor, as well as a national athlete. I have participated in both national and international tournaments, with some of the most memorable being the Bolivarian tournaments in Santa Marta – Colombia, Sudamericano Lima 2020, Sudamericano Bolivia 2018, Panamerican Games 2019, and Bolivarian Valledupar – Colombia 2022.

To me, badminton is more than just a sport. It is a passion that drives me to give my all in teaching others who share the same love for the game. The sport itself is precise, disciplined, and fast-paced, setting it apart from other sports.
Developing Badminton in the Community
Every time I share my experiences, I aim to inspire children and guide them away from harmful habits. Through programs like Shuttle Time, we strive to reach more teachers and communities in the city and provinces. One of the most important lessons I have learned from Shuttle Time is the ability to improvise and adapt, even without proper equipment like rackets or shuttlecocks. This skill empowers us to create our own tools and continue playing the sport we love.
