About Me
Standing 1.95 m (6’5”), I compete as a goalkeeper and hold Brazilian, Portuguese, and Serbian citizenship, allowing me to compete throughout Europe without many of the administrative barriers faced by international athletes.
Beyond competition, I strive to inspire young athletes by showing that determination, discipline, and resilience can overcome difficult circumstances. Moving away from my family at the age of 15 to pursue a dream taught me values that continue to shape both my athletic career and my personal life.

I am always looking to build meaningful partnerships with brands that value excellence, perseverance, and international visibility. Together, we can grow both on and off the field.
