She was on from day 1 until she was evicted on day 63. During her tenure as a housemate she was always bullied by her co-housemates, which was one of the most controversial editions of PBB Teen.[1] She was diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder by the PBB resident psychologist.[2] Santos is linked to Ivan Dorschner and James Reid. After she was evicted, she joined Mariel Rodriguez to host the afternoon edition of PBB Teen. Later in 2010 she joined the short-lived teen-oriented show Shoutout! with some co-housemates, specifically the Thursday group with Dorschner. On her interview on PEP.ph, although she focuses her career in volleyball, Santos didn't not close her door to return on acting.[3]

After graduating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas in 2013 for her undergraduate studies and joined the Golden Tigresses, the women's varsity volleyball team of UST which plays in the UAAP.
