In 2008, she co-starred in the remake of Ciranda de Pedra as Elzinha.[5] At the end of the year, she debuted as a director in the Mercadorias e Futuro goods and theatrical spectacle, with José Paes de Lira.[6]

She is the flagship holder of the largest block of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the Cordão do Bola Preta.[7]
