Biography

Originally from Montréal (Canada), she is the daughter of Giorgio and Diana Tutino. Her mother and all four grandparents were born in Italy, and she inherited dual citizenship even before entering the national team sphere. Her competitive pathway began at the Ontario Hockey Academy, where she also did well in football. Between 2011 and 2016 she attended Boston University, graduating in Advertising and earning a Master’s in Administrative Studies. After experiences at home with Worcester Blades and Montréal Canadiennes, she decided to retire from playing in 2019. She then began taking on various coaching roles, including video coach for Italy’s senior women’s team in 2023/2024. After that season, she returned to the ice (first with HC Lakers and then Real Torino) and travelled to the Division I (Group B) World Championships in Dumfries, where Italy won gold and earned promotion. She has already been to Milan, but is very happy to return: there is an Olympic debut to live in one breath at the 2026 Games.
