She was only 20 years old when she was cast in the first version of the soap opera Ti Ti Ti (1985), [4] and gained prominence with her character Monique in Selva de Pedra. Irreverent, she often performed in comedy roles. In Caminho das Índias, another soap opera on Brazilian TV, she made the audience laugh with her bumbling character Dayse.

She also played a character in Cortina de Vidro by Walcyr Carrasco.
