About me

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2007 began my studies in classical ballet and modern/contemporary dance at the Academia Narcisa Coelho. Later I received a scholarship to the Boston Ballet School (USA) and an internship at Pró- Danza in Havana, Cuba. Still in Brazil I danced with the Cisne Negro Cia de Dança. 

In 2013 I moved to Germany and studied at the Palucca University of Dance in Dresden. Later I became a member of the Sorbisches National Ensemble, Bautzen. Since 2017 I have been a member of the ballet ensemble at Musikalische Komödie/ Oper Leipzig.

Parallel to my dance carrier, since 2019 I have taught dance and movement at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (Mendelsohn Bartholdy), Leipzig, Mozarteum in Salzburg and Dance Workshop e.V.

As choreographer, I already choreographed for Opera, Operetta, Musical and Television with directors such as Carsten Süss, Prof. Karoline Gruber, Prof. Matthias Oldag, and Matthias Reichwald. And streaming (ARD) with Annette Ernst in "Einspruch, Schatz. Ein Fall von Liebe." 

In 2023 I received the degree of Master Dance Pedagogy at the Palucca University.
