Before starting the yachting career, I have been working in tourism and Aquatic industry as a senior lifeguard and Aquatic Centre Duty Manager for various facilities in Italy and Australia.

My high energy and passion for fitness lead me to become a fitness instructor between 2010 and 2021: I was teaching Aqua fitness, Group Dance and Circuit Training, as well becoming an F45 coach between 2019 and 2022.

I arrived in Australia in 2013 and soon moved to the remote Kimberley region where I had the opportunity to get sponsored by the Local Government as a Sport and Recreation Manager and finally became an Australian citizen in November 2022.

Living in remote Australia taught me how to work along people with many different cultural backgrounds and educations, as well as living isolated from the cities’ comforts and services.
