Stella attended a summer gymnastics camp at four years old. She fell in love with the sport, joined a pre-team and never looked back. She trained at Bull City Gymnastics for five years, between 2016-2021. When she was at Bull City, she placed fifth in the all-around with a 37.875 at the Level 4 State Championships. She skipped level 5 and quickly moved up to level 6 for the 2018 season. She finished third in the all-around with a 37.525 and second on uneven bars at the State Championships and sixth in the all-around with a 37.600 and third on uneven bars at the Region 8 Championships.
As a level 7 gymnast in 2019, Stella finished fifth in the all-around with a 37.825 and second on vault at the State Championships. She qualified to the Region 8 Championships, finishing second in the all-around with a 38.025 and second on uneven bars and balance beam. She was unable to compete at the 2020 Level 8 State Championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stella competed as a level 9 gymnast in 2021, finishing fifth in the all-around and third on floor exercise at the State Championships. At the Region 8 Championships, she finished fourth in the all-around with a 37.700 and fourth on floor exercise. She qualified to the Level 9 Eastern Nationals where she placed in the top 15 in the all-around and sixth on uneven bars.
Following Stella's 2021 season, she moved to Sonshine Gymnastics in Holly Springs, NC. She competed as a first-year level 10 gymnast in 2022 where she placed eighth overall at both State Championships and Region 8 Championships. She was named the alternate for the Level 10 Nationals in the Junior B division. In 2023, Stella placed fifth in the all-around with a 37.750 and third on uneven bars at the State Championships. At the Region 8 Championships, Stella placed fourth in the all-around with a 37.500. She qualified to the Level 10 Nationals in Oklahoma City, OK where she placed 15th on uneven bars with a 9.450.
When Stella isn't busy training 25 hours each week in the gym, she enjoys cooking, baking, crafting, doing make-up, shopping and traveling. She is the daughter to Fabiula (Brazilian immigrant) and Ronald (Native American from Alaska). Stella has two sisters, Sofia and Scarlett and two rescued dogs named Mel and Pepper. Currently, Stella is a 4.0 GPA student at George Washington University Online High School. She enjoys the sciences and thinks about potentially going to medical school.
