Who am I?

I am currently a high school student in Brazil, dreaming of a future in photo modeling, catwalks, even though I am not tall enough, and acting. I come from a family with low financial means, but I have been studying in private schools my whole life. I currently speak Portuguese and English fluently, intermediate Spanish and Korean, and basic French. Physical characteristics 61 inches tall (155cm) Shoulder length, dark brown hair, now with bangs.


What do I think about The Fashion Hero TV series?

The Fashion Hero made me understand that I can be who I am without beauty barriers and made me realize that I can follow my dream with fashion and art without a beauty standard; that beauty is not just what we see on the internet and that real beauty can be much more beautiful. The Fashion Hero inspired me to keep trying to make my dream come true.


Why would I be a great role model for this generation and inspire people as the new face of The Fashion Hero?

I was always bullied as a child and to this day, people talk about my appearance, saying that I should be thrown out. I was once signed to a modeling company but the only thing that happened was that I had to pay $200 to join the agency and didn't get any work for a year under contract. I feel like, as I was told, I was thrown out and I developed a lot of insecurities about my appearance, feeling inadequate. I feel like I can break barriers by showing that even people with low self-esteem, being gender fluid and coming from a poor family, young and with an uncertain future like me can show our beauty to the world without being afraid to be who we are. I want to inspire other women, men, girls, boys and anyone who wants to be inspired by showing my confidence as beauty above appearance.
