Biography

Born in Lecco in 2002, she spent her teenage years on athletics tracks. Her qualities marked her out as a pure sprinter, though she also performed well over hurdles. Working with coach Stefano Longoni, she followed a path that led her to the top of her discipline, collecting several national titles with her former club.

During a meeting, she was approached by FISI technical staff who, noticing her explosiveness in the opening metres, invited her to undertake tests in skeleton. In the Olympic season, her push qualities were then placed at the service of the national bobsleigh team, where she competes as a brakeman.

Within a few months, she came close to the podium several times in the European Cup. Her best result was fourth place in December 2025 in the two-woman event at Winterberg alongside Giada Andreutti. On the same German track, she made her World Cup debut, finishing 20th, before being selected for the European Championships in St. Moritz, where she placed inside the top 15.

A graduate in Biological Sciences, she can already say she has fulfilled her Olympic dream—while perhaps keeping the door open to completing it one day with a Summer Games appearance.
