Greta’s story is one of tenacity, passion and inspiration: the representative of our #TalentUniSR of this month is a talented student, but also a sports champion who is passionate about music, painting and drawing. During birth she received a brachial plexus injury which lead to Erb’s palsy in her left arm and therefore limiting her movements. However, thanks to her family’s attention, she started playing cello when she was four years old and studies opera singing, participating in various competitions. She started rowing in the Island of Giglio, the place where her mother is from and now she has won multiple medals while representing Italy. Amongst her most recent achievements: in 2018 she came in first place with the “Coxless pair” and the “Coxed four” in the National Italian Rowing Championships in the Para rowing PR3 category, during the World Cup she got second place with the “Coxed four” and first place in the International Pararowing races with the “Coxless pair”. Lastly, Greta is a world citizen: she speaks three languages (German, Italian and English), she attended elementary school in Buffalo (N.Y., USA) until the fourth grade, she finished elementary school in the Island of Giglio, she attended middle school in Rome and then high school in Hamilton (ON, Canada). She then studied biology for a year in Aachen (Germany) until she finally accepted to the International MD Program at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University.
