What do you like to do in your free time?


I’m a curious person, so on my free time I like to go out with friends, meet new people, discover new places, cook for my friends at home… Love to enjoy life.




What’s your hometown like?

One of the most beautiful place in the world. The people, food, music… everything is amazing. That’s Salvador, Bahia, BRASIL.

How long have you been with the Lion King? How’s the journey so far?

It’s about 7 years now, and so far so good, always having the chance to meet new people. Oh My Gaaaaad!!! I Love that!!!

What is your favourite food in Singapore?

Funny question, I’ve been to a Brazilian restaurant called Carnivore, I loved very much the food there, but I prefer my own made home food. Besides that, I like to try all kinds of food but names are a bit difficult to remember.
