== Biography ==

After doing some modeling jobs and television commercials, she was ranked among the five finalists of Supermodel of the World - Step Brazil, 1989, sponsored by Class Modelos and Ford Model Agency in the U.S. With the money she earned, she took a course in theater acting.

In 2002, she portrayed the protagonist in the telenovela ''Coração de Estudante'', and played in the miniseries ''Um Só Coração'' in 2004.
