The Vaulting Review

I’ve Always been a vaulter and now I’ studying photography in Brescia. Someday I would love to specialize in sports photography to put together my two biggest passions. I started vaulting at the age of four and never quit since then. It has always the most important part of my life and I’m excited to put it together with what I hope will be my job in the future. I am also a vaulting trainer and a mental coach.

I am a high-school student at Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C. and an equestrian vaulter with the “Great Falls Vaulters” team, currently competing in the 2* Young Vaulter category. I have been vaulting since the age of ten and have had the wonderful opportunity to train in the United States, Italy, France and the Netherlands. From these interactions with different countries came my desire to create international connections in the vaulting world. The Vaulting Review is the ideal platform, as it allows me to combine my love for this exciting sport with my interest in languages and writing. As the U.S. correspondent, I share with readers of all ages news about events and people that relate to my vaulting experience. It is a privilege to be able to give global visibility to this fabulous and still little-known equestrian discipline.

I’m a Language graduate and the Social Media Manager for The Vaulting Review. I started vaulting by chance in 2004, and never abandoned it. Today, besides my ongoing competitive activity I’m also a judge in training. With The Vaulting Review I can conciliate my passions and, hopefully, helpt to spread this amazing discipline. Besides vaulting, my interests are also cinema and writing.

I’ve always been passionate about all sports, I approached the equestrian world thanks to my family’s passion for it. I immediately loved vaulting, that I think is extremely educational and fundamental in the relationship with the horse. For years, following my daughters competing, I documented through videos the most important competitions, either national and internationals. I enthusiastically took the challenge of The Vaulting Review, making my experience available.

Professional photographer since 1990 and member of WDPA. At work I curate photographic and graphic designs on the advertising for some major internationally renowned breeders. Official photographer of national and international events, I also collaborate with Italian and foreign magazines. I always loved animals and I approached the equestrian world following my husband agonistic career. Along with him, I became a Border Collie breeder myself, as it is a dog known for its intelligence and sports skills. Looking for a sport to help the education of my children, I approached Equestrian Vaulting, which I think creates a good union of efforts, elegance, sacrifice, perseverance and horse care.
