Was set to portray Telma, a prostitute, in Paraíso Tropical (2007). She dropped the role (and consequently left Rede Globo) after taking her Floribella (2005) young fans in consideration and decided to play Nina in Record TV's Luz do Sol (2007) instead.

Debuted on television as one of Angélica's backup dancers ("angels") in the 1990s - but actually used to perform as a Xuxa cover as a child. Xuxa and Angélica were publicly seen as "competitors" due to their similar TV shows aimed at kids.
