At the age of 17, she graduated in teaching, influenced by her mother who worked in school in São Vicente until being approved to work in Praia Grande.[3] Married with Márcio França since 1986, they had met when they were teenagers. They have two children: pedagogue Helena and lawyer and state deputy Caio França, besides two grandchildren, Enzo and Laura.[3]

She became First Lady of São Paulo in 6 April 2018 after her husband took office as Governor due to the resignation of then Governor Geraldo Alckmin.[3][4][5]
