In January 1998, she finally earned her Pro Card due her condition of number one in her country and the continent, and her many national and international victories, which opened the doors for competing in top bodybuilding contests as a professional athlete.
Currently she competes in high profile North American stages and has entered in the spotlight of the Bodybuilding media, appearing in specialized magazines like Flex, Musclemag,Women’s Physique World, Ironman…Part of the attention she gets from the observers are her exotic and flashy looks, nice ripped condition, as well as her excellent legs: perfectly shaped and razor sharp thighs and calves with a good muscle size, which make the greatest impact in the eyes of the fans. Since her lower body is considered one of the bests in the sport, it used to overpower the upper side, affecting her overall symmetry and stopping from placing higher in professional events.
Besides her training for top professional events like Ms. International, Jan Tana, placing Brazil in the top spots of this sport, when she used to live there she was active promoter of bodybuilding in many states of her country, already enjoying a relatively good popularity there.
