Violetta was first licensed in 2014 as KM4ATT at the age of 9. Encouraged by the many other hams in her family, she earned her General and Extra Class licenses by the age of 10. Challenged by her father, W3SML, to work DXCC in a year with no internet or access to spotting networks, she quickly became intrigued with working DX and earned her first HF radio, the Yaesu FT950D, which she still uses today. She later received the vanity call of KN2P.
Violetta operated in her first multi-multi contest from W3LPL in 2018 and began planning an all-youth multi operation. In 2019, K3LR hosted 6 young operators, Team Exuberance, for the WPX SSB. The youth doubled their QSO goal, and the raw claimed score set a new W3 record.
Violetta has continued honing her contesting skills, operating from stations such as PJ2T, J62K, K0RF, and HQ9X.
Violetta was an operator on the E51MWA team to the North Cook Islands in 2025, and is set to join the DXpedition to ZK3 Tokelau in 2026, as well as the VP0SG South Georgia team in 2027. As a commercial pilot and flight instructor, Violetta is working towards a career as a corporate pilot.
