Biography

The backbone of the Italian team, she is one of the strongest launchers on the international scene. As a child, she tried many sports, but she was not keen on any of them, until an aunt who played Softball, suggested she try. She was 8 years old, and since then he has never left the court. Most probably, growing up in Bollate, one of the most successful cities in the history of softball, has been of great importance. But her determination did the rest by even allowing her to gain experience abroad. She has played in the USA, where she also graduated in psychology from Texas A&M University, then in Australia during the winter period where in recent years she has taken part in the Nationals. In the Italian team since 2006, by qualifying for the Olympics she has received the chance to participate in the only big tournament that she still hasn’t been to.
