About me

I started windsurfing in 2013 at the 151 H20-Sport in Riccione.
In 2014 I did my stage at Torbole (Garda’s Lake): I planed for first time and then I realized that windsurfing was more than just fun … so in 2015 and 2016 I started my “agonistic career” in Techno293, coming to win the Italian’s Cup in the “Plus category” on 2016.
On 2017, tired of the one-design world, I started a new slalom category adventure, thanks to my family’s support.
(Great Results) Many satisfaction arrived also in this category: First place in the U20 Italian Women’s Slalom Championship and my first One Hour Classic in Torbole.
My secret wish: It’s a secret, but I can give you a clue … it’s a word composed of 3 letters …
My logo: a small falcon, a tough, strong and determined animal, one of the fastest animals on earth …
