She studied NLP strategies for musicians with Maestro Federica Righini and Maestro Riccardo Zadra and modern piano teaching following the courses of Maestro Annibale Rebaudengo, exploring the theme of creativity and expressiveness through the instrument.

She has been awarded in national competitions including the Palma d'Or for the piano four hands category. She carries out her concert activity as a soloist, in four-hand duos and in chamber ensembles.

Always passionate about personal growth, she obtained the title of experiential and relational counselor, and has been studying for years with Dr. Erica Francesca Poli in the field of Ecobioanthropology, Salutogenesis and emotional-focused helping relationships.
