Club career

Thaisa transferred from Ferroviária to Tyresö FF in January 2014, as one of four Brazilians to join the Swedish club.[4]

Thaisa was a late substitute in Tyresö's 4–3 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final defeat by Wolfsburg.[5] Shortly afterwards Tyresö were declared insolvent and kicked out of the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, expunging all their results and making all their players free agents.[6]

On 13 December 2017, she signed with Sky Blue FC in the NWSL.[7] After making eight appearances with the club she was released on 25 July 2018, so she could pursue overseas opportunities.[8]

Switched to newly formed A.C. Milan Women in the Seria A for the 2018–19 season.[9] On 26 July 2019, Thaisa joined CD Tacón in the Spanish Primera División.[10] After two years of playing in Madrid, Thaisa returned to Italian football and signed for Roma on the summer of 2021.[11]

International career

Thaisa made her senior debut for Brazil in September 2013, in a 1–0 defeat by New Zealand in Châtel-Saint-Denis, Switzerland.[12] She scored her first national team goal in Brazil's 2–0 win over Chile at the 2013 Torneio Internacional de Brasília de Futebol Feminino.[13]
