General Interest

FROM FRANCE TO ITALY
Originally from Relecq-Kerhuon, near Brest, France, is where she started skating and went to college. Moved to Italy (at age 20 in 2010 to skate with Fabbri), not speaking any Italian and leaving behind her grandparents, mother, brothers, and friends. They had a choice to compete for Italy or France, and decided to go with Italy because there were more opportunities to participate in European and world championships, as well as the Olympic Winter Games. She was naturalized as an Italian citizen in August 2013. (letelegramme.fr, 13 Apr 2021)

PARTNERS ON THE ICE
Teamed up with Fabbri in 2010 after finding each other on a skating partner search platform. She was 19, he was 21. He went to Brest (France) for a test and after two hours, they knew they were going to skate together. (letelegramme.fr, 18 Feb 2018)

PARTNERS OFF THE ICE
She and Fabbri have been partners off the ice basically from the start. "When we are at home we try to forget figure skating and just focus on our private life. When we are at home, we do other things, and when we are on the ice we just work." (Pirouette Magazine, May 2021)

FORMER PARTNERS
Partnered with her brother Christopher as a child, Goulven Fourdan, and Guillaume Paulmier (2006-2009), with whom she competed with at two World Junior Championships (18th in 2008, 19th in 2009).

Coach Barbara Fusar-Poli is the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic bronze ice dance medallist and 2001 World champion (with Maurizio Margaglio, ITA).
