Encouraged by his father since she was a child, whom used to take her and her brother to jogging, Barbara acknowledges that she has been running since she has memory.

Her sports career started at the Sport Frances Stadium and her first competition was when she was 8 years old.  At age 9 she joined the Catholic University’s Sports Group.

Currently, Barbara is divided among the sports and academic demands, since she is studying a career in nutrition.  She is a well known sportswoman of her club and a pride for her country.
