Tell us a bit about yourself...
I'm originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Have been in the US for almost 19yrs now. I love it here, I'm an American Citizen and proud of it! I'm not denying my roots but I love the freedom I have in America and the people here has been nothing but very kind and warm to me. Fitness is my life, I like to look good but, for the most part I wanna stay healthy. I'm also an animal lover!!

What made you get into modeling?
I always enjoyed camera time so I've decided to try it in Brazil and I'm still doing it here in the US. Also have done a lot of work as a professional dancer. I've worked with Lil John, Pit Bull, Gloria Estefan, Sergio Mendes and many more.

What do you enjoy about modeling?
The camera attention and the ending results. I always get so happy to see good pictures of myself. I'm amazed at the amazing photographers out there. Nothing like working with talented people.

Do you still model in Brazil?
Sometimes. When I go back to visit my family I make sure to make myself available for photo shoots and music videos.

Worst part of modeling?
The night before and the day after a shoot. Excitement and back soreness hahaha!

Do you have any tattoos? If so where and what of?
Yes, a small flower on my right calf.

What's your best asset?
I have to say my face and I have to add my abs.

Worst?
My nose.

What are three technological things you cannot live without?
My Iphone, my Ipad and my laptop.

How do you relax?
I schedule a 2hr massage. You must find time to pamper yourself.

Top three things that annoy you?
Jealous people, inconsiderate people, when my boyfriend insists in giving me "jumper cables" (tickling), it hurts hahaha.

Top three things that make you happy?
Working out, my pets and my family.

What is your favorite video game?
Call of Duty. My boyfriend introduced me to it. I also like the old school games, like Pacman!!

If you could go back in time and visit yourself at age 10, what would you say?
Love yourself first always. Do not look for love in others, true love is inside of you.

On the other hand, if you could go into the future and visit yourself 80, what would you ask?
Do you still work out?

Married or Single?
Not married and not single. But I have a boyfriend and he is super supportive of my modeling.

What do you look for in a guy?
Honest, noble, kind, respectful, I look for a best friend. Someone I'll never get tired to hang out with. Good looks are great but looks will fade. To me, it's more important how a man treats me. Like I said, I look for a best friend but he must make me laugh. Can you make me laugh? Wink Wink!

Your motto for life?
Always be nice to people. If it's a homeless person, a rich person, a kind person or a not so nice person. Courtesy will shape your character and bring you positivity in your life. Be nice, you never know what people are going thru. Besides, we only live once. Laugh a lot and tell your loved ones how much you really love them.

Do you have a fan site like twitter, myspace or facebook?
I'm working on it. But I'm on Model Mayhem.

What does the future hold for you?
Good fortune, a bigger house, more work with adoptable pets, lots of trips to Hawaii and lots of photo shoots. And lots of good times too, I love to laugh.

Ten words or less for your fans?
Thank you so much for your support. Love you.
