The Grade III kid amazed everyone in the nine ball competition after just taking up the sport seven months ago. Tanvee has been working out with Billiards Education Foundation coach Roy Pastor for the past seven months.
Shane Van Boening, the current nine-ball world champion, serves as an inspiration to Tanvee and motivates her to work hard every day. She enjoys playing other types of games as well, including the pool. She holds a green belt in taekwondo as well.
