She was the South American champion in the 400 m in 2003, the silver medallist in 2005, and the bronze medallist in 2011. She has won three South American titles with the Brazilian relay team and a bronze at the Pan American Games. At the 2011 Military World Games, she was a triple gold medallist, having won the 400 m, 4×100 m relay, and 4×400 m relay events.
Born in Araruama, she discovered athletics while at high school and tried the pole vault and sprinting events. She eventually focused solely on the 400 m and moved to Rio de Janeiro in order to train with the Vasco da Gama 16 sports club.[1] She won her first Brazilian title in the 400 m in 2002 and took three consecutive victories at the annual event.[2]
She joined the BM&F Bovespa sports club in 2009, coinciding with Coutinho's revival period. That year, she returned to international competition as she ran on the Brazilian relay team at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics. She won back-to-back 400 m national titles from 2010 to 2011.[1] She also re-established herself at continental level, taking the 400 m bronze medal and relay gold at the 2011 South American Championships in Athletics.[9][10] The 2011 Military World Games were held in her home state of Rio de Janeiro, and she provided one of the highlights for the hosts by winning the 400 m title in a personal best and Games record of 51.08 seconds. She won two further gold medals at the competition as she helped Brazil not only win the 4×400 m relay but also the 4×100 metres relay (in which she set another Games record).[11][12] At the 2011 Brazilian championships, she ran a personal best of 23.07 seconds for the 200 m (later finishing third overall), won the 400 m race, and then set a South American record in the 4×400 m relay of 3:26.68 minutes with her club mates Bárbara de Oliveira, Joelma Sousa and Jailma de Lima.[13][14]
