On her mother's side, she is the granddaughter of one of the pioneers in child psychiatry in Brazil, Dr. Zaldo Rocha, who is also considered one of the forerunners of psychoanalysis in the country.

During law school, she became involved in the student movement, debating gender and the plurality of rights, as well as working on improvement projects for the conservation of the university's heritage.

Shortly after the elections, she took office on the Municipal Secretariat for Youth and Professional Qualification, under Geraldo Júlio's administration.

The councillor had her membership card approved by former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, during PT's 36th birthday party, in Rio de Janeiro.
