Biography

Move to USA

Born and raised in Santa Catarina (Brazil), Caroline enjoyed a very active childhood; she participated in numerous sports including ballet, paddleboarding, boxing, motocross racing, and surfing.

After graduating from college, she made the big decision to move to the USA. However, the transition into the land of opportunity wasn’t easy for Caroline – she began comfort eating junk food in order to deal with the stresses of her new life.

As a result, the Brazilian became overweight and started to suffer from depression.

Injury

Although Caroline had initially struggled to adapt to her new American lifestyle, she eventually found her feet and found the desire to get back into shape. For this reason, she began training to become a stunt double – but she suffered another set back almost immediately.

During her intense training for her new profession, Caroline seriously injured her knee; this resulted in the Brazilian needing knee replacement surgery – putting an end to her progress as a stunt double.

But this time, she didn’t let herself fall into the trap of depression.
