01 - Simone, you have been increasingly standing out in the fashion world. Tell us a bit about how your interest in fashion began. Did you always aspire to a modeling career?
"My interest in fashion started in childhood. Since I was little, I loved looking at magazines, watching fashion shows on TV, posing for photos, and things like that. I have always loved cameras. When I was a child, my mother even took me to do a photo shoot because she already saw my potential. Today, I can see this talent more clearly in myself. I have also always enjoyed singing and acting, and I'm looking to improve and start studying to enhance my acting skills. I have always been enchanted by both the world of fashion and performances."
02 - If you could describe yourself in a few words, what would they be?
"I am a mature woman who knows what I want and where I want to go. I am very determined, dedicated, intelligent, and I am also powerful. I know my worth."
03 - Was it because of your career that you made the decision to live outside of Brazil? Was it easy to make that decision? Tell us more about this important decision in your life.
"I always wanted to live abroad because my hometown is small, and I didn't see much of a future as a model there. The opportunity to go to Mexico arose through a childhood friend who already worked as a model in Brazil and Mexico. She proposed that I go with her to Mexico and have that experience. She helped me with everything, and I am very grateful for her support. She went above and beyond to assist me and see me grow in this industry. I haven't been living here for long, but I am grateful for everything I have been achieving. Being in Mexico provides me with growth and learning opportunities."
04 - Currently, you are living in Mexico, right? What reasons led you to choose this country? Are you satisfied with that choice?
"Yes! I live in Mexico. I feel that it is a country full of joy, hospitality, and the people have a wonderful energy. As I mentioned, the interest in living here came from the encouragement of a friend. The culture, landscapes, people, and cuisine captivated me. Today, I am very satisfied with this choice."
05 - Simone, what are you most grateful for in your life right now?
"I am grateful for how far I have come. I have been able to fulfill some dreams that I never imagined I could achieve! My journey has had challenges, triumphs, frustrations, and many accomplishments. Even the 'small steps' have been important in my life, and I value them as well. From the simplest decision to the decision capable of causing significant impacts, they are all important."
6 - Is there any project/plan that you could share with us exclusively? It would be great to know!
"I am about to fulfill one of my biggest dreams, which is buying my house in Brazil. The purchase of this house means a lot to me, and everything is falling into place."
07 - Last question, but not least: if you could display a message on a billboard, what would it be?
"Never stop shining and always stay true to yourself."
