As a child she practiced many sports, including athletics, becoming twice runner-up in the Italian finals.
Her passion for the mountains remained constant and in 2002 she started to compete in ski races. She became a member of the Italian National Team: twice Italian champion in 2006 and 2008, second in 2007, she won the Pierra Menta in 2007 and 2008 and the World long distance title in 2008. After these victories she started to look for new experiences. Since the age of 14 one of her dreams was to climb an 8000 m peak. In 2009 she started her new career as a mountaineer with her first expedition to Nepal. She partecipated to many expeditions in Asia with Simone Moro and other rope-partners.
