Sporting relatives:

Her twin sister Beatriz has represented Brazil at Para swimming and competed at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She also won silver in the SB14 100m breaststroke at the 2017 World Championships in Mexico City, Mexico and gold in the SM14 200m individual medley at the 2019 Parapan American Games in Lima, Peru.

She began practising the sport with coaches in 2010 in Maringa, Brazil. (umpm.org.br, 01 Sep 2017)

She first tried swimming in her family's pool. The sport then became part of her academic development, before she was spotted by a coach who encouraged her to start competing. Her father also thought swimming would occupy her and her twin sister Beatriz while he was working after their mother died when they were age 11.

Philosophy:

In February 2020 she was given a Merit Award by the Maringa Council in Brazil. (ofatomaringa.com.br, 10 Feb 2020)

General
SIBLING RIVALRY
She believes that her biggest rival is her twin sister Beatriz, who also represents Brazil in Para swimming and regularly competes in the same events. "We are sisters and we like each other, but in the pool we want to beat each other. I know I need to keep my eye on two things - the clock and my sister. But it is a healthy rivalry because we train together and help motivate each other." (brasil2016.gov.br, 25 Apr 2016; globoespote.globo.com, 23 Apr 2016)

MISSING OUT ON RIO
She suffered from appendicitis in 2016 and was unable to train for almost a month. The condition then contributed to her failing to achieve the qualifying standards needed for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (revistamarta.com, 02 Apr 2021; umpm.org.br, 01 Sep 2017)
