Manager
Paramount Pictures Brasil

---

I have been working in the audiovisual industry since 1999 and have been responsible for co-producing national films at Paramount Pictures Brazil since 2013. We have co-produced over 50 films, including the box office hit Minha Mãe é Uma Peça 3.

I am part of the Selo ELAS project, which aims to promote gender balance for women filmmakers. I am also a jury member for important Brazilian festivals and I am on the jury of the Cabíria Prêmio de Roteiro, another initiative that seeks to empower and give visibility to women screenwriters.
