I love reading, learning languages, cooking and travelling!

Originally, I’m from the very busy Italian city of Milan. I spent all my life there, where I also started to enjoy sports and training, when I was 16. What brought me here to the US was the desire of knowing and learning more about what was becoming my biggest passion: fitness. That’s why one day I decided to leave Italy and move to Miami, to study. Suddenly I felt bold and inspired, it was the right move at the right moment(I was 21) I thought I was following exactly what I was looking for: I was determined to be part of the American fitness industry, the best in the world. I travelled from Miami, to California many times, where I also started to compete. From that moment, I never stopped to learn and experience new adventures and meet inspiring people with the same drive and passion. I’m so happy to be here!

I always try to find new motivation and set new goals, I tell myself there is never a limit to improvement. I try to change workouts, intensity, cardio and diet every month and see how my body reacts, with curiosity and enthusiasm, which have always been a part of my character. I also learned from my mistakes. I love fitness because it means wellness, alertness, joy, power, balance, and health… Some of the most important values you should desire for yourself. We need to love who we are and treat ourselves in the best way possible, only so we are able to deal with everyday life at 100% of our capacity. Life is a beautiful journey and…why not look your best while going through it???
