She also lived and taught capoeira on the island of St. Croix for two years. She loves to travel and experience capoeira and we are grateful to again have her here in Arizona!

She is a powerhouse and known for her strength in the roda and in competition. Professora placed 2nd in the Axé Capoeira Mundial in Recife, Brazil and 1st place in Prague in 2015. In 2016 she competed in Switzerland, placing 2nd in the mixed category and taking the gold in the women’s category! And in 2018, she won the dance competition at the Grupo Axé Capoeira event in Recife, Brazil.
