— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
I am a very determined person. I see myself as a young woman with firm goals and a lot of strength to pursue everything I want in life. I like to set all my ambitions and I don’t rest until everything is done! That way, I am always trying to become a better professional and I am happy that I have what it needs to try a career as a model, which is basically, in my opinion, the strength of will.
— How did you become a model?
Actually, it wasn’t something that I have always wanted, I just decided to embrace the opportunity. In 2016, I was at the mall with my family and a lady stopped me to talk about doing some photos for her brand kickoff. To be honest, I froze and my mom had to talk with her, but I was also very excited to do the photos so we said yes! Then at the photoshoot, the photographer kept saying I was doing great, especially for my age since I was only 13. He also advised me to search for agencies in São Paulo, so I could develop more and start a career! Therefore I did some interviews and I signed with my current agency, Way Model.
— An issue or cause you are passionate about:
I have always been very passionate about the environment and this enthusiasm became stronger when I started to study at school how nature is being exploited and destroyed by us, humans. This cause is definitely something that I will support for the rest of my life since by damaging the Earth we are actually tearing down our only home!
