Biography
I was diagnosed with non-obstructive HCM at 24, though I had always felt that something wasn’t quite right. I was about to graduate in P.E. and questioning my path in life. After spending time in Australia and London, I returned to Italy in 2019, where I received an S-ICD implant that ultimately saved my life. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to sharing my journey to help others feel less alone and to show that it’s possible to live well with cardiomyopathy — not by letting the disease define us, but by embracing a balanced lifestyle and mindful daily choices that support both body and mind. Through my Instagram page livingwiththeS-ICD, I aim to inspire and empower people to live fully, confidently, and positively with their heart condition.
