"I know I won't ever quit chess because it truly makes me happy."

Her father was a chess player and he taught her the basics of chess.
She says, "I was into dancing at that time and it took me quite a while to see the magic of chess."


She started liking chess a lot more when she won her first National Championship in 2011.
It was unexpected for her and qualifying for European championships motivated her to do more.

Chess is her passion. She always finds time to play regardless of having a busy schedule.
