Q. WHEN AND WHY DID YOU START WORKING OUT?
I started really take working out seriously after I saw my first wellness competition in Brasil at the Arnold Classic in 2015, that's when I knew I wanted to compete.
Q. HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE FITNESS INDUSTRY?
I was tired of the night life and partying, so I started to go to the gym with my cousin as a new outlet and I felt so much better as a whole, especially after seeing the results. I realized it was adding to my life, not draining it.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE EXERCISES?
Now that I'm hitting new maxs, I have to say squats, lateral raises and heavy leg extensions. Anything that gives me a crazy pump actually.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BODY PART?
Quads.
Q. WHO IS YOUR INSPIRATION IN THIS SPORT?
Roberta Zuñiga is on the list because she was the first wellness athlete that I discovered. Francielle Mattos is perfection to me,. Vivi Winkler, Angela Borges and Getta Beqa.
Q. WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF DRAGON PHARMA TEAM?
I had try them before. I never wanna put my name on products I don't like and believe. Once I tried the pre workouts I was hooked. The quality is top level, and the way they treat their athletes are incredible. They treat us like family, they really care about the athletes and everyone that works for Dragon from the ones in the office to the ones on stage.
Q. WHAT GOAL ARE YOU WORKING TOWARDS?
My pro card in wellness division. I've been waiting for 4 years for this division to hit the States. It's been my dream. Also developing my YouTube channel, workin on a bikini line, and a sunless taining line.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHEAT MEAL?
Donuts! I literally sweat thingking about them on prep! A loaded breakfast with pancakes, pizza with everything, load it up! And italian food, need that chessy pasta.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES OUTSIDE OF THE FITNESS/BODYBUILDING INDUSTRY?
I'm a big introvert so I stay home a lot, I have been going to self development seminars thru the years that I enjoy, but I also love to travel, cook (when I'm no preppung), going to comedy shows, studying and perfecting languages.
Q. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO START A FITNESS/BODYBUILDING JOURNEY?
I always say to take pictures! I would always do yo-yo diets, crash diets and workout for a couple weeks and give up after not seeing the results I wanted. If you stay consistent and take pics, even the smallest change will make a world of difference when you see it and I guarantee you'll want to keep pushing.
