1-. How was your childhood?
My childhood honestly wasn't that great nothing to do with my parents or environment but more individually at school. I was bullied alot and i felt like i needed to hide who i was for the longest time. Im a very sensitive and emotional person and back then it wasn't well view.

2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV?

I decided and realized i wanted to be an actress since i was 12 years old but before that i have been around theater and acting since 6 years old. And i dont really knew or believe i had the skills but instead i knew how much i wanted to tell stories and inspired people with my acting and the moment i was put on stage for the first time i realized how much i felt confident in what i do and realized this is what i was meant to do and how much i wanted to continue to work hard for it.
3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress?

Yes, im so grateful i have parents who supported me since day one my mom always tell me we can do anything we want as long as we want it. But growing and still living in a country who acting career and cinema is not big at all they and i knew an still know is and will not be a “pice of cake” and i have to work a bit harder than anybody else for it.
4. - What was your first appearance on the screens?

Actually a few weeks ago was my official entry in this industry. I was able to be part of a international movie that was filming in my country i was a small extra but i got the opportunity to film with the main cast and that for me even if i was just an extra is the best thing and im so incredibly grateful for it.
5. - What was the role you liked the most?

So far the Red queen. I did Alice in wonderland play some years ago and i landed the red queen role and it was the most fun and incredible experience. Not just because she is unbelievably funny but because she has such a complex personality and story i was so grateful to experience with her.
6.- What do you think led you to fame?

Im not famous at all yet hahaha but that word Fame is a bit subjective for me, Of course i want to reach “Fame” and be “Famous” but i just want my work and my voice and my talent to be recognize and seen i want to have a voice and for my words to matter not just to me.
7-. What types of characters you would like to interpret?

1-. How was your childhood? Coming from a musically inclined family, from an early age I knew I was passionate about music and the arts. My childhood was really defined by my creativity. I spent countless hours singing, diving into books, and writing my own short stories in the sanctuary of my room. Those were the activities that brought me joy and helped shape who I am today. 2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had the skills to go on TV? When I was around five years old, my mother took me into a local music store one day, and while we were there, I saw a voice lesson in progress. It looked like so much fun to me and they were singing songs that I loved. My mother told me that I wouldn’t stop talking about the music store or the voice lesson for weeks. My parents saw how passionate I was about pursuing singing so they decided to get me lessons and I haven’t stopped singing since. My dedication to the craft of music, became the foun

1-. How was your childhood? My childhood was a whole journey on its own. A big rollercoaster with big highs and very low lows. When I was born I used to live with my mum, my grandparents, my aunt, and my uncle. And honestly, it was the best period of my childhood. I have fond memories that helped me build amazing relationships with my family. I was the only great-grandchild who met my great-grandmother and I love to be that one. Amazing warm Christmases, laughs and karaoke, playing in the backyard, enriching myself with our backgrounds. Everything we did seemed like a long-lasting warm hug. But you see I was born an actress, I just didn’t know what I was doing. I would spend hours and hours creating incredible worlds. I would save Antarctica, come back from the 18th hundreds, have 10 children, and need to save them from chaos or a princess who saved herself. I would memorize my favourite movies, go through my wardrobe to get matching outfits, and recreate whole movies

1-. How was your childhood? I grew up in a big city in Brazil, São Paulo, I was always surrounded by friends, family and many cousins. Sundays we’d go to my grandparents house and have delicious homemade food.   2. - From what age did you decide to be an actress and how did you know you had theskills to go on TV? I was 5 year old only when I’d dress up bed sheets and act in the backyard of my house. It’s funny because I always would speak a different language, almost as if I knew that one day I’d be an actor in Los Angeles. Acting has been always my passion. I graduated in acting school with 22 years old.   3. - Did your parents support you in the decision you made to be an actress? No!!! They’d say acting was a hobby, it’s so sad that so many parents had that mentality in the old days… so I graduated also in Marketing and worked in Ad Agencies to make a living.    4. - What was your first appearance on the screens? I acted mostly in plays (theater) at first and after movin
