“My sport life started when I was 14 years old. I started with archery for 1 year, and took park in two competitions”.
How it started:
My sport life started when I was 14 years old. I started with archery for 1 year, and took park in two competitions. It was a beautiful sport, but I wanted something with more of an adrenaline boost, and I discovered Latino dancing. I performed for 3 years, competing almost every 2 months. In the meantime I was studying acting (comedian theatre). I always loved to make people around me laugh.

“At age 18 one of my friends invited me to watch a kickboxing match and I knew after the first 5 minutes that I wanted to fight as well”.
I had to stop dancing because competitions became very expensive, so I had to give it up. At age 18 one of my friends invited me to watch a kickboxing match and I knew after the first 5 minutes that I wanted to fight as well. The next day I spoke with the coach and he accepted me. My colleagues were laughing at me because I had Latino moves, but after 6 months I started to enter amateur matches, and then I started to have bigger matches. I won 3rd place in Nationals, and 3rd place in Shaolin. Before the Mondiales in Italy I had an accident where I almost lost my vision, and since then I haven’t been allowed to fight anymore. That’s when I discovered fitness competition from a bodybuilder friend.

My first competition was last year in October. I didn’t win anything, but I listened to what Audrey said at the meeting — ” If you don’t win, watch the winners’ video”. I did, I trained harder, and I took posing classes with Audrey Kaipio. Finally, on 17 April at the MP WORLDS, I won first place in the short bikini category and the overall Ms. Bikini Champion. I also won my MP Pro card and pro status.
About my diet – I want to say that I have a way of life, and it is very rarely when I have a cheat meal. I want to thank you, Miami Pro, for making my dream come true and letting me be on stage again.
