I am a Brazilian, geologist and a mom. I moved to Canada with my daughter two years ago with a job but no plans and it haven’t change yet.

I used to like a good challenge when I was younger, so I ended up eating 14 slices of pizza at a family dinner.
How long have you been doing CrossFit? At CF6S?
I completed my foundation classes between Christmas and New Year’s so, 8 months.
Why did you start CrossFit?
I spent my first winter in Canada drinking wine and eating chocolate every night and I thought I could find a healthier addiction to survive my second freezing winter.

When I first learned how to do a handstand.
What impact has CF6S had on your life inside and outside the gym?
I’ve always suffered from shoulder/neck pain related to a jaw issue and the strength that I have gained from CrossFit definitely relieves it. No more pain & no more pain killers!
For someone just starting at CF6S, what advice would you give them?
Sore is my new favourite word! I have learned that it is better to come often – it makes it less painful (2 weeks away from CF is too much!).
What’s your biggest CF goal right now? How close are you?
Handstand Pushup: I just have the handstand part…don’t even have push ups yet. But I am working on it!
