Kaddari was born on 23 March 2001 in Cagliari, Sardinia, to an Italian mother and Moroccan-born father.

Growing up, she set consecutive Italian records in her signature event of the 200 metres. Aged 17, she won a silver medal at the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires with a national under-18 best time of 23.45 seconds.

In 2019-20, she set national indoor under-20 records, ultimately lowering it to 23.85 s.
