General Interest

General
US STINT
In 2017 she moved to the United States of America after receiving a scholarship to study and play volleyball at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, FL, United States of America. She spent one year in Florida before transferring to Iowa State University in Ames, IA, United States of America. "It was not an easy decision because it's a long time away from home, but in Argentina you cannot play professional volleyball and study at the same time. Generally speaking, if you want to improve you have to go abroad, and being away for seven or eight months affects the studies. With this proposal I had both things. It was a great experience. It helped me to grow as a player and as a person." (voleyplus.com, 04 Jul 2020; cyclones.com, 01 Jun 2020; sanjuandeportes.com, 09 Dec 2020)
