I started modeling when I was around 4-5 years old, I saw a movie from Brazil on tv and told my mom I wanted to be in a movie like them…so I started theater & modeling! I always loved acting and wanted to be an actress. Acting and modeling walk together, so my bookers from back then instructed me to keep on modeling since I had a good connection with the camera! Haven’t stopped since then! 
 

You have one free day in Milan, where are we finding you? 

I am always at the park! I love to read at Sempione Park, eat some strawberries & popcorn! Feels like the perfect day!

 

 

What’s currently your obsession?

I am a book lover so reading is always going to be my n°1 obsession! Having a good book with me really does save my day! 
 

Do you have a favorite motto or quote you live by?

“You already have the no, so why not try to get the yes?” This really helps me with work & castings, it really motivates me to try even if I don’t end up getting the job! And this one from my dad “mete o pé na porta e vai” which would translate to “put your foot in the door and go” like the quote when one door closes another opens but my dad’s style! I really love it and reminds me that sometimes you need to try the door a few times to make sure you get it, without hard work you don’t get anywhere right?!
