What is your biggest strength and how has it helped you in your life?
Dedication and passion are my biggest strengths, and they have helped me persevere through challenges, stay focused on my goals, and achieve success in both my personal and professional life. These, for me, are the best combination to have in life because once you are passionate about something and you are dedicated to it, it will surely bloom into something magnificent.
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself and why?
The feeling of regret. It scares me knowing “regret” is always waiting for me at every door I fail to open. It often holds me back from fully embracing new opportunities and learning from mistakes.
What has been your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?
My biggest failure was not making my father proud while he was still alive. It’s why I’m now participating in this pageant and representing his nation (Italy)—it’s all for him. From this experience, I’ve learned the importance of expressing love and appreciation to loved ones while they are with us. I’ve also learned to channel my regret into positive action, striving to achieve meaningful goals that honor his memory and make a positive impact in his honor.
How do you manage stress and stay focused during challenging times?
It is important to rest and have leisure time. For me, riding horses provides a fresh perspective and makes me feel free-spirited, helping me recharge and stay grounded in my goals. That is how I manage stress.
How do you define success and what are your goals to achieve it?
Happiness is success to me, as it reflects a deep sense of fulfillment and well-being. My goal is to cultivate meaningful relationships, pursue continuous personal growth, and contribute positively to society, all of which are integral to achieving lasting happiness.
What is your favorite quote and why does it resonate with you?
“Wolves don’t concern themselves with the opinions of sheep.” It resonates with me because it speaks to the importance of staying true to oneself and not allowing others’ judgments or criticisms to dictate one’s path or decisions.
What is one thing you have done that you are most proud of and why?
One thing I am most proud of is being an animal advocate. Every night, rain or shine, I feed stray dogs and cats in my area. Additionally, I rescue animals from faraway provinces, giving them a second chance at life. This work brings me immense joy and fulfillment, knowing that I am making a tangible difference in the lives of animals who need care and compassion.
What is your biggest fear and how do you overcome it?
My biggest fear is the uncertainty of “what ifs.” To overcome this fear, I focus on being proactive and prepared for various outcomes. I strive to make informed decisions and take calculated risks, trusting in my abilities and embracing the lessons learned from each experience, which helps me face uncertainties with more confidence and resilience.
How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance?
I’m just about to graduate from university, and I’ve been working since I was 14. Despite this, I have also been able to enjoy life in the process. I think practicing time management and clear goal setting plays a crucial role in maintaining that balance.
What is one thing you want to achieve in the next five years and how do you plan to make it happen?
One thing I want to achieve in the next five years is to establish a lasting legacy where animals are heard and protected. I have a passion project called “The Voices” where I help animals in need and speak for those who can’t speak. I want this project to grow and foster so people can be educated and taught how to properly care for animals. I plan to make it happen by being more engaged in this project, which is why I’m bringing it to an international platform, “Summit International Pageant,” and hopefully raising more awareness for my cause.
