Due of her problems with new contracts in the Brazilian voice acting in her last years as a voice actress, which ended her losing her characters like Tecna, Courtney and Tails, mainly with the problems she had with Warner Bros. in the Brazilian dub of the Birds of Prey movie, alleging that she wasn't the perfect voice for her in the film, she was retired from the voice acting since early 2020.
