About page pt 4.png

I’m a Brazilian-American actress, writer, and producer. I’m after two things: to rally generations and inspire our disconnected, half-hearted culture.

 

My stories and performances are heart-on-the-sleeve, zealous, and fun (think: Little Miss Sunshine & 13 Going on 30).​

After nearly five years off social media and behind the scenes, bringing other visionaries’ dreams to life, I’m putting myself and my stories in front of the camera (betting on myself, if you will.)

 

Most recently, I starred in RISK: It’s the Taking, a rom-com I wrote and produced with Julia Light and Kaiti Yoo.

​

I’m a graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study and fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.
