Monique Rizzeto

Beyond the gym, Rizzeto holds a prominent role as a Carnival Muse for the Unidos de Vila Isabel samba school in Rio. Her appearances at the Marquês de Sapucaí sambadrome are known for elaborate, jewel-encrusted costumes designed by top fashion houses. This dual career, fitness athlete and carnival performer, has made her a recognizable figure in Brazilian popular culture. She is also an entrepreneur behind Bazar da Rizzeto, her personal brand and business, which extends her influence beyond social media.

Academically, Rizzeto holds a postgraduate degree in Pedagogy and is currently a student of Physical Education. She uses her platforms across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads to promote women's empowerment, physical strength, and Brazilian carnival traditions. She is small but mighty. Her trajectory from a local fitness competitor to a national influencer illustrates how discipline, performance, and business savvy can converge in one career. She remains based in the Niterói area of Rio de Janeiro, where she continues to develop her brand and engage with her audience.
