She works now for the Paranaense Association of Fighters and Immortal FC, but has trained in martial arts since she was young, including Judo and Jiu-Jitsu
“I have always been interested in mixed martial arts, but not to compete as an athlete, but as being part of the show,” she explained. “I always wanted to know how the organization was and to be inside it. So one day I decided to work as a referee, but it was not easy, first as I am a woman and afterwards because I had to learn many things such as the technical knowledge and practices.”
