I am originally from Brazil but have been living in America for the last 19 years. I am married to the love of my life for 10 years, and we have a lovely Australian Sheperd Toy dog called Joie. My 25-year professional career has been around Finances/Executive assistant. Last December, I decided to close that chapter and explore new talents. I felt the need to create more instead of being on auto-pilot. The acting/modeling career is very new to me and I am enjoying very much the experience.

I was attracted to it because it gives the opportunity to people like me that doesn't fit the modeling industry standards. So I am grateful to be part of this movement.

If I can inspire people of all ages, especially the '40s and up...it would be a dream. We can be, do, or have anything that we want as long as we focus on it and don't let anybody stop us. Everybody has different timing for changes in their lives and mine came now at 46. It was tough to leave behind a lifetime career but my happiness is priceless and I am so grateful that I had the courage and jumped to the unknown. Life is good!!!
