Getting to know me

I started playing rugby during my first year of university (2018/19) for the University of Leicester, and in March we won Varsity at Mattioli Woods Welford Road. On the same year I was selected to play for the Leicestershire County squad, and we came in second place in the Division 2 with the final played in Twickenham. The year afterwards I also joined Loughborough Town Ladies that played in the Championship North 1. In 2021 I was selected to play for Tigers in the friendlies that took place during the year, and in December I changed clubs and I joined Lichfield RUFC. I played for the Leicestershire County squad, and we won the Division 1 final in Twickenham. Alongside playing club rugby, I kept playing university rugby.

I am Italian and I came to England in 2018 to study Criminology. I am currently doing a Masters in Crime, Justice and Psychology. Before starting to play rugby I played basketball for 14 years. I love sport and I particularly enjoy calisthenics.
