Born in Rio de Janeiro, the 33-year-old French-Brazilian is one of the great promises of big wave surfing, with a career that combines talent, dedication and a strong presence on social networks and in the media.

Michelle currently lives in Brazil, but has a special relationship with Portugal, where she spends most of the winter, between November and March, in Nazaré. The Portuguese town is world famous for its giant waves and it is there that Michelle prepares to face the most intense challenges of the European season.

Her connection with Portugal also led her to become one of the ambassadors for the luxury watch brand Bell & Ross in our country, consolidating her image as an influential and sophisticated athlete, a characteristic confirmed in her recent photo shoot with Luxury Watches magazine.
