I am an 18-year-old girl who is friendly, charismatic, and a bit outgoing. I like doing new and different things. I enjoy sports such as street workout, baseball, and gymnastics. I also like modelling, photography, and music. From a very young age, I knew that I would like gymnastics and extreme sports. In fact, when I was 8 years old, I attended a rhythmic gymnastics academy here in my state, but I did not stay long because I did not feel comfortable there. Over time, I played various sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, among others. From the age of 7, I also went to a music school and played the violin until I was 11, and then I started playing the cello. My father instilled that discipline in my siblings and me from an early age, as he has been involved in it since he was young. Over time, music began to bore me because I felt a lot of pressure from my family due to being the daughter of a conductor, and I felt that I was not performing well enough. So one day I had a breakdown and decided not to play any instrument again. During that time, I didn't know what else to do until I started modelling. First, I went to a public academy where they didn't teach me much, but I realised that I really liked it. Over time, I continued practising at home until they enrolled me in a modelling academy called Modelling Academy, where I was from the age of 13 to 14. After that, my parents took me out because I wasn't getting good grades in school. At 15, I learned about street workout through a video that popped up on Facebook. I was intrigued by what the sport was like until, at 16, I met a boy who practised it, and I got more and more into the sport! In October 2023, I started going to the park to watch people train, and in November, I decided to give it a go, even though it looked difficult. During those months, I met Jesús Rangel, who is now my partner, and he gave me advice about the sport via WhatsApp, as he wasn't in the state at the time! When he arrived in December 2023, I started training hard and realised how much I liked the sport, despite how difficult it was for me to go to the park because my parents did not like the idea of me practising such an extreme sport. In January 2024, I began a romantic relationship with Jesús Rangel, who has been my coach, friend, and confidant since 2023. Thanks to him, I have learned many tricks and more about the sport, and I have continued training ever since! I learned how to do a handstand and its variations, but I lacked strength and control. Due to the flexibility I gained from practising gymnastics as a child, it was difficult for me because I always fell forward into a bridge! Over time, I corrected this and learned how to do an elbow planch, back level ballerina 180, and other tricks! In May 2024, my partner had to leave the country for a better economic life, leaving me alone and with no one to train me! Because of this, I was very sad for a whole month and went to the park, but I didn't train, I just went to distract myself. In June, I turned 17 and was still sad and didn't feel like training, and very few people helped me, and I also asked for very little help, until July came and I started training again and was beginning to feel better! I had heard about some competitions outside the state and had been encouraged to train because my friends insisted that I was good enough to participate, which was indeed the case. On 26 August 2024, while trying to perform a new trick without anyone's help, I slipped and fell to the ground, fracturing my wrist and cracking my ulna (the bone next to the radius). At that moment, I realised that it was all over and that I wouldn't be able to go to the competitions, as they were in November. Thank God I didn't have to have surgery, but they put me in a cast, which demotivated me a lot. Then, when it was time to remove it, they left it on longer because one of the bones (the ulna) had moved. All of this discouraged me, and I stopped training until December, when I started going to the park again and recovering little by little. January came, and I felt better. In February, I competed in a beauty pageant in my town, where I won the Miss Congeniality sash. This took place on 9 April, and it should be noted that from 9 March I stopped training and focused on the contest. On 9 April, my partner arrived as a surprise and I started training again. In May, we found out we were expecting a baby, and I stopped training until now, when I am resuming my training while still pregnant, but with caution!
