I began playing indoor volleyball in 2013 at Escola Rainha Nhakatolo Tchissengo through the Vôlei Blue project. My first appearance at senior level came at the age of 16, while I was still a youth player, when I received my first call-up to the senior national team and was awarded Rookie of the Year. From that moment on, I never stopped training.

I transitioned to beach volleyball at the age of 18, competing in provincial stages. One of the most defining moments of my career was achieving third place at the Namibe stage — the first time I stepped onto a podium and realized how far I could go. Since then, I have continued to grow steadily in beach volleyball. I am known for my quick defensive reactions and strong positioning, qualities that have shaped my role as a defender.

My lifelong dream has been to become one of the best players in the world. I know this is an ambitious goal, but I truly believe in my potential. I aim to build a fully professional career, compete on the world’s biggest stages — including World Championships and the Olympic Games — and represent Angola with pride, proving that our dreams can become reality.

Favorite Sand Stars Moment

After each competition or tournament, sitting together as a team to analyze what went well and what we can improve. Those moments make me feel at home — like part of a true family.
