BIO

A communicator by nature. An artist at heart, an actress by instinct, a director by stubbornness, and an entrepreneur by audacity. I was born in Rio Grande do Sul, but I grew up in six Brazilian states, building an identity that embraces all 33 homes I've lived in. I carry with me the curiosity, the observant eye, and the pioneering spirit of someone who made the country her home and the arts her point of contact with the world and with others.

I direct driven by relationships. In each project, what interests me is finding the connection between the environment, the characters, the story, and the audience.

As a director, I work both in film and advertising. In my solo career, I've directed films for Snickers, L'Occitane, UFC, and the São Paulo State Government, with the campaign for the SP Mulher Segura app. I also direct as part of the duo GABA, alongside Lucas Romano, with whom I created Files of Freedom for Mercado Livre, a project that won three Lions at Cannes, a D&AD, and three Clio Awards, in addition to films for Garnier, Spaten, Bayer, Natura, LinkedIn, and Electrolux. In 2024, I joined the directing and production team of the feature film Os Infiéis, my first feature-length fiction film, produced by Jubarte. Before that, I created the program No Fundo da Tela for YouTube. My directing style stems from the delicacy of relationships: I like to build a space with the cast and crew where the truth of the scene emerges from subtlety.

This perspective was born from acting. I'm an actress by training, with a bachelor's degree in Dramatic Arts, and it was from within the scene that I learned to direct. I acted in series such as Good Morning, Veronica and Only If It's For Love (Netflix), Matches (Warner) and Animal (Rede Globo and GNT), in soap operas such as Malhação, Além do Tempo and Tempo de Amar (Rede Globo), and in films such as Beira-Mar and The Lords of War, a film that earned me a Kikito nomination for Best Actress at the Gramado Film Festival. Knowing the set from the perspective of someone who acts is what sustains the way I direct today.

I am also an executive producer and one of the founding partners of Jubarte, a creative production company where I bring the same care for people to the way we produce. Among our recent projects is the documentary Botafogo, Os Heróis Improváveis (Botafogo, The Unlikely Heroes), available on Globoplay.
