Sporting relatives:

Her daughter Leticia Lacerda represented Brazil in Para table tennis at the 2019 Parapan American Games in Lima, Peru. (olimpiadatododia.com.br, 18 Aug 2019)

Other sports:

She represented Brazil in table tennis at the 2008 and 2012 Paralympic Games. She has also competed internationally in able-bodied archery, including at the 2017 World Championships in Mexico City. (SportsDeskOnline, 14 May 2020; agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br, 10 May 2020)

She began Para table tennis at age 28. She took up archery at age 39, in 2014. (Athlete, 01 Jun 2016; olimpiadatododia.com.br, 24 May 2019)

She first tried wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball before taking up Para table tennis. "I always joke that it was love at first racket strike. I saw that Para sport was not a social sport, it was high performance. It's courage and will, and I saw how strong the other impaired athletes were, how very well prepared they were. And I said, 'That's what I want to do'." She later took up archery after she was told she had to relocate from her home in Goias, Brazil, in order to train with the national Para table tennis team. "Table tennis was a big passion, my sport at heart, but it was very difficult once I was told I had to leave my family. I said no, but I looked for another sport that I could do in Goias and with which I could qualify for the Paralympics again. I had never seen that sport [archery], but I tried it. I hit the target only a few times but I felt that was the sport I would do." (olimpiadatododia.com.br, 24 May 2019)

To win medals at the world championships and the Paralympic Games. (rededoesporte.gov.br, 11 Jun 2018)

She was Brazil's flag bearer at the closing ceremony of the 2011 Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. (Facebook page, 14 May 2020)

She carried the Parapan American flame ahead of the 2007 Parapan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on its way through Goias, Brazil. (olimpiadatododia.com.br, 24 May 2019)

General
TABLE TENNIS TO ARCHERY
After competing in table tennis at two Paralympic Games and winning multiple gold medals in the sport at the Parapan American Games, she began competing in Para archery and able-bodied archery in 2015. Several months later she won gold in Para archery at the 2015 Parapan American Games in Toronto, ON, Canada, and then qualified for the 2016 Paralympic Games in her new sport. "I think it is very difficult that an athlete could win Parapan American Games gold medals in two different sports and in such a short time. You cannot abandon a dream. If it's not working, then do something else, but you have to keep on going, somehow the universe will take you where you want to go."
