MY STORY
EDUCATION:
I have always been passionate about sports and athletic movement. Growing up, I read extensively and experimented with various training methods, techniques, approaches, and performance strategies. After high school, it was natural for me to pursue a degree in Exercise Science. As soon as I graduated in 2020, I wanted to learn more about the rehabilitation process alongside training, so I enrolled in Physical Therapy. In 2024, I earned my second Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy.
CLIMBING:
I competed in gymnastics for five years during my youth, but in 2009 (at age 11), I discovered what would become my greatest passion: climbing. I began sport climbing outdoors with my dad and started going to the gym almost every day after school. A few years later, I progressed enough to join the Italian National Youth Boulder Team. I gained valuable experience competing nationally and internationally, placing fourth in three different European Youth Cups.
I continued competing as an adult in national senior circuits, with my greatest accomplishment being a third-place finish in the Italian Cup in Prato in 2019. In 2016, I also joined the prestigious Ragni di Lecco group, representing them with my climbing achievements around the world.
During my time on the Italian team and through my academic studies, I had the opportunity to learn from experts and build my own foundation of knowledge, tools, and skills. I have used this knowledge to create my own training programs for the past six years, allowing me to achieve what were once my dream goals. Personally, I have climbed over 300 boulders graded 8A/V11 and above, including over fifty 8B/V13 boulders. I have consolidated my level with eight boulders above 8C/V15 including Ephyra 8C+/V16, but I’m still hungry for more. Almost 30 of these climbs were flashes, which is one of my favorite activities and great for both mental and physical training. Although I rarely put on a harness, I enjoy challenging my endurance and have climbed routes up to 8c+.
Climbing brings me deep feelings of joy and accomplishment, which has inspired me to help others experience this process of growth and reach their own goals. I coached the youth team at my local gym for a year, and since earning my first degree, I have been coaching adults.
I’m truly excited to work side-by-side with you to help you find the right direction to achieve your climbing goals!
