Biography

From the fight against Covid-19 to the Olympic dream of Tokyo 2020, and vice versa. Forced to train at home because of the lockdown and the postponement of the Games, she chose to take the field against the coronavirus: in 2020, she put her medical degree to good use by volunteering for an internship at ULSS 2 in Pieve di Soligo, in the province of Treviso, where she assisted patients with symptoms but waiting for a swab. Her courage and selflessness, however, also characterise her on the boat. And so the 29-year-old from Veneto, who has already competed in Rio 2016 in the women's coxless pair, is warming up her engines and ready to live her new Olympic dream. In addition to the university degree, there are also two silver and one bronze European medal. An impressive CV.
