In 2007 she played the flirtatious Teresinha in Desire Proibido, in addition to making her film debut in the films O Homem que Desafio o Diabo and Podecrer! . In 2009 she had the opportunity to mature on stage in the role of Maria Rosa in Paraíso, a girl who graduated from the big city and returned to Pantanal to help her family manage their farms and political life. In 2011 she returned to the nine o'clock soap operas as the provocative Irene Brandão, in Insensato Coração, who seduced the protagonist of the plot with her sensuality. In 2012 she played Márcia, a lieutenant in the Brazilian Army in Salve Jorge, which formed the plot's love triangle. In 2013 he also made his technical debut behind the camera, directing the music videos "Como É Grande o Meu Amor por Você", by Lulu Santos, and "Tempo em Movimento", by Luiza Possi and Lulu Santos – this according to the who was also a screenwriter. She debuted as a presenter in 2014, in the first season of the talent show Superstar.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
