note<br />

The table tennis player came to Brazil at<br />

12 years old as part of a student<br />

exchange program. She lived for three<br />

years with a Brazilian family and<br />

established residence in São Bernardo do<br />

Campo where she met Hugo Hoyama<br />

who became her coach. She simply loves<br />

“churrasco, feijoada” (barbecue, black<br />

beans), the country and is a Palmeiras<br />

fan. She spent the year of 2011 anxiously<br />

waiting for her 18th birthday so she could<br />

request a Brazilian nationality which was<br />

granted only in May of 2012. Now she<br />

can defend Brazil in international<br />

competitions.<br />
