In August 2013, Carol moved to the United States, joining Monroe College and representing the women's soccer team Monroe Mustangs. [4] [5] After an impressive 2014 season, where she scored 19 goals in just 15 appearances, she was included in the NSCAA Women's Division I All-American First Team. [6] [7]

On 22 August 2017, Carol signed a two-year contract with Division 1 Féminine side Bordeaux. [11] She struggled with injuries at her new side, and moved to Dijon FCO in August 2019. [12]

On 12 August 2020, Carol left Dijon to join Damallsvenskan side Hammarby. [13] The following 12 February, she returned to her home country after being announced at Palmeiras. [14]

Carol helped Verdão to win their first-ever Copa Libertadores Femenina in 2022, but mainly as a backup option. On 18 January 2023, she signed for Cruzeiro, [15] but left on 13 December. [16]
