When and why did you start training for fighting? I started at 9 years old with Karate. By my father’s influence, he wanted me to practice a physical activity and learn self-defense. Then I started to compete, stand out and love it so much. 

What professional titles have you held? Brazilian Karate Champion, Paranaense Karatê Champion, Karate World Champion, Paranaense Jiu-Jitsu Champion, UAEJJF Jiu-Jitsu National Pro Champion And a few Muay Thai fights 

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? Only one Muay Thai fight

Any belts/ ranks in grappling disciplines? Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt 

Any belts/ ranks in striking disciplines? Brown Belt Karate, ⁠Dark Blue and Black Muay Thai 

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? I feel like I didn’t have a toughest fight because all my fights were tough. 

Who is your favorite fighter and why? I have a lot of fighters that I like… Poatan, Ronda, Namajunas, Marina Rodriguez, Charles do Bronxs, St Pierre. Everyone is an amazing fighter - I admire their history and fight style. 

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I studied law but I didn’t finish, I stopped in the last year. I had to choose between fighting professionally or college and my heart chose fighting.

What was your job before you started fighting? I always taught Muay Thai for women, until 2022. I manage the gym that I train at, and I was a partner, so I take care of all the paperwork and functional parts. 

Personal Life / Background: I'm engaged to a fighter, Marcel Adur, a great name on the national scene, I love to dance; if I didn't become a fighter, I would definitely be a dancer. I have many pets and I love them very much, they are my children and I made them all live in harmony - 3 pitbulls with two cats and a cockatiel, and I intend to have a mini goat, maybe a place with many animals. I love reading and I love practicing any sport. 

My father and mother are my daily motivations to continue pursuing what I dream of. I left my whole life, my company, everything I had in Curitiba to leave for Florianópolis to train with Márcio Malko, a great coach and now friend. Márcio has always been part of my life since when he started the Marina project - I participated by sparring with her, and after many years, God brought us together. He presented a career plan and I believed, I trusted, I dropped everything and went, and in one year-and-a half, we made two sensational fights - two submissions - and we reached the DWCS!!
