What is the importance of poker in your life?
“Today, poker is everything to me. It is my life. I breathe poker. I work in poker, I am the Director of the Women’s Poker League and also part of the leadership of the WPF Women’s Committee. It is my job, my passion, and the place where I found myself. After a very difficult time with my husband’s health, I joined a poker team with the goal of becoming a professional. From that moment on, I dedicated myself to countless studies so I could live poker in my daily life.“

In your opinion, what is the importance of the Women’s Committee?
“The Women’s Committee is very important for the growth of women’s poker worldwide. We must unite women in order to grow as a whole. Although there are already many female initiatives, we need this strengthening of women’s presence in the sport through an institution.“
