On her Instagram account, she frequently documented aspects of her life and her studies. She was married to Daniel Cayuela, an entrepreneur and influencer with over 110,000 followers on his own Instagram account, and according to G1, lived in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.

"Life is short, let's be crazy," she wrote in Portuguese in her final Instagram post, which shows her and her husband in motorcycle helmets.
