"My cousin played softball so one time I went to the field and said, 'Hey I want to try this'. I think I was five years old. After that first practice, I just never stopped. The softball field is ten minutes from my house so it was just so easy to go there. My whole family was on the softball field all the time. It was just automatic for me to spend most of my time there." (upstatespartans.com, 10 May 2019)

STUDYING IN THE UNITED STATES
After graduating high school in Italy she relocated to the United States of America in order to play softball while studying at university. "I thought that was such a good idea. You can advance your education and at the same time have the opportunity to play softball at a higher level." She joined Tallahassee Community College in Florida, where she stayed for two years before moving to the University of South Carolina Upstate. "It was actually the only school that I visited because after being here I knew this was the place I wanted to go. I immediately fell in love with the environment and I wanted to play for this team." She returned to Italy in 2019 after earning a degree in interdisciplinary studies. (upstatespartans.com, 10 May 2019)
