Club career

Born in Major Isidoro, Alagoas, Duda played futsal and made her senior debut in football with Chapecoense in 2014. [2] In 2017, after a short period at Kindermann/Avaí, she moved abroad with Israeli club Kiryat Gat.

Duda returned to Brazil and Avaí in 2018, being a regular starter until rescinding her contract in January 2021. [3] Late in the month, she joined Palmeiras. [4]

In 2022, Santos was part of the Palmeiras squad that won both the São Paulo Women's State Championship [5] and the Copa Libertadores Femenina. [6]

She stayed the whole 2024 and 2025 seasons with Ferroviária and then, on January 2025, she was announced as a Palmeiras player once again. [9]

International career

After representing Brazil at under-20 level, Duda received her first call up for the full side on 9 November 2020, for friendlies against Argentina.
