She is an athlete member of the Olympic programme of the Brazilian navy. "After the [2016 Olympic] Games I was thinking about what I would do. I had left a team and at that moment the navy came in. I wanted something bigger than money, and the navy was important to continue pursuing my dream. This programme has helped several athletes. I now have the chance to represent the navy and, with its support, I only focus on training." (Canal Woohoo YouTube channel, 22 Jun 2020)
