A rider since the age of 6, a fall when she was just a child plunged her into a coma. When she woke up, she was brain damaged, partially blind and quadriplegic. This marked the beginning of a long battle of rehabilitation, which she undertook with courage and resilience, to reach the highest heights of success. Riding, athletics, cycling, she shone in every discipline.
In 2023 alone, her record of achievements is awe-inspiring:
-
world time trial champion
-
world runner-up in the road race
-
2023 World Cup winner
-
two-time European champion
-
Swiss champion.
She is currently preparing to take part in the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. We'll be sure to follow and share in her preparations.
She will be talking to us about excellence and resilience, as well as entrepreneurship, change management and physical and mental health.
