Biography

Born in 2007, she is one of the brightest gems produced by the Eagles Bolzano academy, making her debut in 2020/2021 both in the Italian league and the EWHL. In 2023/2024, after two Swiss experiences with Ladies Team Lugano and EHC Bassersdorf Ladies, she returned again to South Tyrol, before moving the following season to Finland’s Naisten Liiga with HPK Hämeenlinna. In 2023 she was called up for Italy Under-16 at the Winter EYOF in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where Italy finished fifth. With the senior national team she owns three medals at the Division I (Group B) World Championships, including the title won in April 2025 in Great Britain. At Milano Cortina, despite being just 18, she brings a strong dose of experience and the aim of honouring her Olympic baptism in the best possible way.
