Creative and versatile, she masters various artisanal techniques and combines tradition and innovation in her pieces. In 2019 she conceived and coordinated a nativity scene in an almost life-size contract, a work that earned her national prominence. She is a member of Casa da Empreita, where she continues to challenge herself and share her knowledge.
