I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Since I was a child, watching actors perform on TV and on stage have inspired me to become an actress.<\/span><\/p>\n

As my passion blossomed throughout the years, I decided to attend a 4-year theater college at Anhembi Morumbi University<\/strong> and a 3-year acting course for TV and Cinema at Wolf Maya<\/strong>. While studying, I became a member of a theatre group called Cia. Hojerizah<\/strong>, now called Escola Artaud, where I volunteered as an actress and I was hired as an acting coach.<\/p>\n

Soon, I was performing several times on stage and in short films, including JULIE<\/strong> directed by Sergio Minehira<\/strong> who cast Johnas Oliva<\/strong> and I as the lead actors. The short film won several awards in film festivals, including best actors. Eventually, I also won a scholarship to Fatima Toledo Studios<\/strong>, a very well know school run by Fatima Toledo, director and acting coach who’s credits include her famous film CIDADE DE DEUS (CITY OF GOD), by coming in first place with a monologue that I performed, called 4:48h Psicose by Sarah Kane.<\/p>\n

Thanks to these opportunities, gaining more knowledge and experience as an actress, I was selected out of 160 people to participate in Margie Haber<\/strong>\u2019s acting program, where my life magically changed. Margie gave me the opportunity to come to Los Angeles, where I started all over again. To be able to do her workshop, I had to learn English in five months. After her course had ended, I decided to stay in Los Angeles to continue my career. Since then, I’ve been booking acting jobs in commercials, short and feature films, and theater groups like The<\/strong> Whitefire Theatre Company<\/strong>, where I was a member for 3 years.<\/p>\n

Later on, I started building my connections with casting directors and taking classes again. I passed through BGB Studios<\/strong>, where I met Caroline Liem<\/strong>, casting director and associate from CSA<\/strong>, and continued to Village Studios<\/strong> where she continued to teach with other casting directors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I received amazing opportunities to work on big sets, be a part of film festivals, and be part of an independent film-making team named Rogue Division<\/strong>, whom every year are a part of the 48 Hour Film Project <\/strong>and have won several awards. Their films I have appeared in include: The Perplexing Case of the Perfectly Planned Pool Party, VestiCon 2019<\/a><\/span> , <\/span>Cora\u00e7\u00f5es em Fogo<\/span> <\/a><\/span>, as well as some short films that we created while in quarantine.<\/p>\n

I am now an active actress at Voxx Studios<\/strong> dubbing voice-over projects into Portuguese. My latest project on Netflix<\/strong>, THE BABYSITTERS CLUB<\/strong>, I gave my voice for the role of JESSI RAMSEY played by Anais Lee, to premiere on Netflix Brasil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to my perseverance and hard work, I’ve become an inspiration to friends, family and to everyone with whom I’ve worked with in Brazil.<\/p>\n

If you want to learn more about me, I continue to post and share all of my experiences past, present, and future on my social media to inspire new actors to follow their dreams!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
