MOVE TO BRAZIL
Since 2012 she began representing Santos-based club Unisanta during national competitions in Brazil. After the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro she wanted to base herself full-time outside of Argentina. "After Rio I closed a cycle with my working team and I wanted to establish overseas. I looked for a team in Europe and received messages from [teams in] the United States of America. But in Brazil I had already a wide opened door for my years representing Unisanta." In 2019 she began representing Belo Horizonte-based Minas Tenis Clube. She says that the competitiveness in Brazil helped her to improve her career. "They compete very often. I think that something that I have improved as an athlete is my competitiveness for being constantly challenged." (tycsports.com, 14 Sep 2019; swimchannel.net, 18 Apr 2019)
