She moved to Portugal at just four years old. Born in Goiânia, Brazil, Clarinha grew up in Portugal, where her football journey began.

She started playing futsal at six. By the age of nine, she had moved into outdoor football, playing for Valadares Gaia before joining Benfica at 13.

She has a creative side beyond football. Clarinha enjoys photography and videography, even buying her own camera to explore these interests.

Her godfather travelled nearly 12,000 kilometres in a wheelchair to watch her play. André made the journey from Brazil to Poland for the 2026 U20 Women's World Cup, where Clarinha celebrated Brazil's victory over Canada with him in the stands.

Playing at the Estádio da Luz was a childhood dream. Her first appearance at Benfica's famous stadium, against Paris Saint-Germain in the Women's Champions League, was an emotional moment.
