Angelica was born in Brazil. From a young age was interested in fashion and theater.  Her earliest endeavors in expression involved organizing amateur theater plays and fashion shows within her neighborhood. At 16 she was discovered by a prominent model scout and asked to participate in a modeling contest in her hometown of Campos. She was then invited to enter into a modeling course, while still in high school, to prepare for a full time career in modelling. 

At age 18, Angelica was a finalist in a prestigious modeling contest in Rio de Janeiro and was signed with a major Brazilian agency, Mega Models. She also finished in the top three of another premier modelling contest that same year. Within a few weeks of being signed, she was sent to Milan, Italy, for fashion week.
