Life took me to São Paulo in 2005, where, upon Royler Gracie's recommendation, I began training at Ryan Gracie's School. It was there that I crossed paths with Fabio Leopoldo, a renowned teacher and World Champion.

In June of that year, Fabio extended an invitation for me to teach self-defense for women at Gracie Morumbi, his school. Eager for the opportunity, I accepted, marking the inception of my teaching journey.

During a trip to Rio, Fabio, acting as both a friend and mentor, ocasionally. met Royler and informed him of our collaboration.

During the Christmas break, while training at Gracie Humaita, Royler offered me a position as his assistant instructor (Apprentice). This role not only involved practical teaching but also included enrollment in the formal Gracie Academy instructor's course, granting me the opportunity to establish a branch of the school overseas, akin to other students.

This marked the commencement of my formal teaching path. I successfully completed the Instructor's course in September 2006.
