note
Very respected in the rings, she
believes in a good Brazilian
presentation at the debut of the
women’s boxing at the Olympic
Games. She participated in the
Guadalajara Pan American Games
in 2011. In the past she played
football and was introduced to
boxing through a friend. Since she
was always a quarrelsome person
she avoided contact sports, but
assures that the sport modality
helped control her instincts. Her
idols are Kelson Pinto and Mike
Tyson.
