It is no accident that the motto of my school is “Learn to fly, run into the sky!” I’m Brazilian born, raised in France, and now make my home in Los Angeles. Before I became a pilot, I traveled the world as a professional dancer, choreographer, and teacher, exploring the cultures of over 50 countries! My first foray into extreme sporting was skydiving, in which I received my A license. My life mantra is to STAYBAD, meaning to Stay Beyond Any Definitions, to live life without limits, and to push oneself to greater heights. One of my main pursuits is flying and teaching others to fly. It is extremely gratifying share the freedom and beauty of being outdoors in this unique way—flying over sand dunes, the ocean, poppy fields—it’s like nothing else. I have been a pilot for 6 years and am a USPPA certified instructor as well as being certified in tandem flights. When paramotoring, I fly with the Qubik 21m in custom colors. For paragliding, I use the Hook 5 p, 24m, in golden. When I am not flying, dancing, or teaching, you can find me creating videos, combining my love of flying with original content sharing my adventures.
