"Thanks to archery, I can overcome the idea of not being able to do anything more. It is a test of courage to face difficulties. Before the accident I avoided obstacles that today I can claim to face successfully and with a sense that I have challenged myself. Archery is a sport that gratifies me so much because, unlike basketball where only people in wheelchairs compete, it allows me to compete and get higher scores than the able-bodied."

General
OTHER ACTIVITIES
She has served as vice-president of AIDA Onlus, an Italian non-profit organisation that aims to break down cultural barriers that people with impairments can encounter. She also believes her accident has given her an enriched perspective on life. "My social commitment started in 2016 after my car accident, thanks to which I am now in a wheelchair. I say thanks because thanks to this event I learned about this fantastic world made up of exceptional, beautiful people, whose only purpose in life is not to be beautiful and rich, but to bring a little joy to someone's heart. I'm just sorry I didn't find this our earlier. Had I remained able-bodied I would have missed out on so many things in life. When I participate in some event or give a testimonial or something, it is people who make me happy rather than the other way around. I have strong emotions and I think I will never get tired of speaking in public or encouraging kids to try and shoot with a bow because I see the joy and fun in their eyes."
