Biography

Originally from Termeno, she is a forward but can also be used in defence when needed. Developed through the Juniorteam youth sides—the Ora–Egna cooperation—she made her debut in 2018/2019 with the Eagles Bolzano in both Italy’s top league and the European Women’s Hockey League. In 2019/2020, after starting in Switzerland’s second division with EHC Kreuzlingen-Konstanz, she finished the season in Egna. She then returned to the Eagles’ Nest, staying until 2022, when she moved to Germany for two years with ERC Ingolstadt, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists. In June 2024—almost three months after the bronze won with Italy at the Division I (Group B) World Championships in Latvia—she moved back to the Bolzano club. With the national team she missed out on qualification for Beijing 2022. Milano Cortina is her chance to finally experience the Olympic atmosphere as a true protagonist.
