I actually started by chance. I had been a wrestling fan since 2003/4 when they started broadcasting SmackDown on television again in Italy. In 2013, I was looking for a job but here in Italy it is not easy to find one. So I decided to create one and started making gears for Italian wrestlers. At the time I was graduating as a fashion designer and I thought of combining my two passions, wrestling and fashion. I knew about the existence of different federations/promotions because I had seen them in magazines years before so I contacted them and proposed myself as a costume designer. Shortly after I discovered that a few months before a wrestling school had opened about an hour’s train ride from where I lived. They were the same guys I had seen in magazines years before. So I decided that I would go to that school. I had never thought about doing something like this before because I was an extremely shy girl and at that time I also suffered from anorexia. And it is precisely because of the anorexia that it took me much longer than average to debut. I practically recovered to be able to get into the ring and make a good impression but I did everything on my own, I didn’t ask for help from a nutritionist or a psychologist. It wasn’t a good idea after all. If I had asked for help it probably would have taken me half the time, but the important thing was that I succeeded.

My favorite wrestler is Eddie Guerrero. Watching him on television made me fall in love with wrestling. My dream opponent is Meiko Satomura.
