Despite an accident at age 17, she refused to give up her love for mountain trekking. In September 2014, she walked eight-and-a-half kilometres with prostheses in Val Pusteria, Italy. "They told me that I would never be able to trek in the mountains again," she recalled. This achievement proved her resilience and determination.

Transition to Cycling

She took up cycling in 2013 and has since been coached by Pierpaolo Addesi at the national level. She competes for Team Equa in Italy. Her passion for sport extends beyond cycling; she has also worked in the textile industry.

Philosophy and Motivation

Her philosophy is deeply rooted in personal growth through adversity. "Suffering changes us and makes us understand who we are," she said. She believes that sport helps remove limitations and fosters personal development.

Ambitions and Future Plans

She aims to compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. During the 2024 season, she competed using Alex Zanardi's personal handcycle. Zanardi is an Italian Para cyclist who won four gold medals across the 2012 and 2016 Paralympic Games. She expects to ride this handcycle at the Paris Games, calling it her "companion in adventures."

Trekking Passion

Trekking remains a significant part of her life. Despite initial doubts from others, she proved her capability by trekking with prostheses. This accomplishment reinforced her belief that "nothing is impossible."

Her journey from Romania to Italy, her transition from wheelchair basketball to cycling, and her unwavering passion for trekking highlight her resilience and determination. As she prepares for the 2024 Paralympic Games, her story continues to inspire many.
