Roberta’s undaunting personality is one highlight of her life and career that speaks about her before she does herself. She believes that challenges are a fundamental part of life and they encourage us to come out as who we really are. “I always trust my inner instinct, on which I build relationships and goals. Certainly, there is no lack of dedication and as far as possible I always try to ward off fear with small challenges that I can easily conquer. I always give myself two rules even when a day or a situation puts me to the test, think positively, and analyze all points of view. Giving in to discouragement must be the last choice.” says Roberta.
