Career
As the daughter of Helga and the native Tamil Sivabala Nadarajah, she grew up in a sports-loving family. She attended the commercial school for competitive sports in Vienna.

In cricket, her father played a key role in establishing this sport in Austria in the 1980s, she was vice European champion with the U-15 national team. In 2000, when she was 15, she returned to swimming. After several years of training at SVS Schwechat , she joined the SC Nadarajah founded by her sister in September 2011.
