Biography

Born in a family of sportsmen, she never had too many choices. After trying many sports, she opted for volleyball marking the beginning of successful career: she debuted in Serie A1 at 19, then won two Italian Championships, one Coppa Italia, and two Supercoppa Italiana. On her return to the National Team during the Olympic qualifier tournament after a nasty injury, she decisively contributed towards qualifying for the Tokyo Games and towards winning the 2019 European Championships bronze medal. Engaged to the basketballer David Paunovic, she enjoys travelling and dreams of returning from Japan, where she won her first World Cup, with an extra present.
