Her talents and successes were soon noticed.

The Italian Tony Kart team, one of the most appreciated teams over the last decade, invited her to join them. Famous drivers like Michael Schumacher, Jarno Trulli and Jan Magnussen started their careers in this team as they choose only the best potential drivers.

At the age of 16 she tested herself in the Ford formula and took part in some races in Australia.

The Italian national car club (ACI SCUOLA FEDERALE) invited her to their school where she successfully competed in the Formula Renault Campus. This school is intended mostly to train top-quality Italian drivers. Formula 1 World Champions Jacques Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher also went to this school.
