INTERVIEW What did the long preparation and the competition leave you as a legacy? Preparing for a competition of that level involves great commitment and the right attitude. It’s a set of ideas, sleepless nights and a lot of desire to make it happen. My preparation left me with a phrase “Only those who want it win”, a phrase that I repeated to myself many times and that will remain with me for my entire career, because it is true. If you have the constancy to study and work hard… in the end, you will win. I was coached by Eugenio Morrone, who, in addition to being very prepared, is a beautiful human being. When I was feeling down, he was always there to motivate me, to tell me: “don’t worry”. I really found it to be fundamental and helpful. What motivated you to participate in the Pastry Queen World Championship? When I had the opportunity to participate in the selection rounds of the Pastry Queen World Championship, I immediately accepted with enthusiasm. It was an opportunity to challenge myself and my potential, measure my limits and compare myself with other professionals in the industry. When I was chosen to compete in the championship, my enthusiasm and determination skyrocketed, and I was honoured to represent my country. The wait to compete was very long due to the forced pause caused by the pandemic, but that didn’t stop my determination. I was able to push through moments of frustration by thinking about the future. I did not give up and I made it to the finals. 18
