After his time in the youth team, last year he made his debut in the Pan American Cup with the senior national team, winning the silver medal and the award for best opposite. "I'm excited at the idea of returning to play in Italy – she says while she is working in Anaheim, California, with her national team – where there is culture and history of volleyball. This will be a great opportunity to grow and challenge myself in a competitive environment. I hope to contribute as much as possible to Bergamo's success. I see a lot of talent in our team and I think we can do well. I would like to be the player that Bergamo can count on in important moments and I can't wait to start this adventure".
