My Story

I was born in Brasil and moved to Austin, Texas when i was 11 years old. I’ve always been in love with sports for as long as I can remember, doing everything from swimming and tennis to soccer and track. The last sport I picked up was the one that captured my heart the most, Beach Volleyball. I love how challenging it is and that there is always, and I mean ALWAYS, something to improve on.

I started playing Beach Volleyball at a neighborhood park in Austin when I was 14 and after competing at every Juniors tournament imaginable I went on to continue my dreams at Florida State University for the next four years where I realized I wanted to play professionally. After graduating in 2018, I played my first season on the AVP and then made the decision to move back to Brasil to test out playing on their well known national Tour (CBV). I ended up playing on that tour for 3 years (2020-2023) and I learned so much from training with some of the best coaches and players in Brasil. I have now moved back to Austin to continue my dreams of playing on the International Tour for Team USA and to inspire the next generation of Texas volleyballers that they can do anything.
