Biography
She started cycling by accident. At the track near her home she fell in love the first time she saw the cyclists who were using it and asked her parents for a bicycle as a gift. She is a cycling perfectionist. She spent her formative years in the mud of cyclocross before wholeheartedly grappling with the road as well. It was on the road, in September 2022, that she secured the most significant result of her career: world bronze in the road race in Wollongong, Australia. The following year she made her debut with the UAE Team ADQ jersey, with which she has every intention of continuing her impressive growth path. Ambitious and outgoing, in her free time she enjoys listening to music and spending as much time as possible with her family. Her future aspirations include clinching victory in the Tour de France and notching up an unforgettable achievement in Italian colours in Paris 2024.
