Biography:

A French-Italian woman in her mid 20s working as a kitchen porter aboard HMHS Britannic.
She was born into a working class family of two children in Britain, Liverpool. Not much is known of her childhood besides the fact that she was the youngest child in the family. She appears in all the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census, all living in Liverpool with her family.

According to her letters during her adult life. She struggles to land herself a job. Her sudden thriving for a job is mainly due to her family struggling with financial income while her sister is getting married. While she occasionally got a job, all of her careers often lasted for a few weeks or a month before she quit or was fired for numerous reasons, leaving her to always be on the move until she ended up working at the White Star Line in 1913. It is written that she got a job aboard Ceramic, as a kitchen porter due to her experiences involving work within the kitchen and zero service experience.

She was in Australia at the time when the Great War broke out, which was around the time Ceramic was requisitioned for Australian Military Service, she took another ship back to Britain where she was transferred aboard Delphic. She later moved to a permanent residence, that was inherited by her grandparents; in Birmingham, still in contact with her family. It was also around this time that she experienced major grieving over the loss of her family member who she never specified.

She later rent an apartment in Shirley and served aboard Delphic for almost two years until, in 1916, she signed onboard Britannic on her fifth voyage, following a request for discharged crew replacement. From there, she was met with the grand luxury of a behemoth ocean liner that she had laid her eyes on for a while.

Later that year, she once again signed onboard HMHS Britannic on her sixth voyage, in the same position of a kitchen porter.
