Club career
Camila playing for the Orlando Pride in 2017

Camila debuted for Kindermann of Santa Catarina in 2012, then joined rivals Ferroviária for the 2015 Copa do Brasil.

She was signed by Houston Dash in May 2015.[3] The Dash waived her in January 2016.[4]

On 19 December 2016, the Orlando Pride announced that they had signed Camila for the 2017 season.[5] On 30 September 2017 Camila suffered a torn ACL and MCL sprain in her right knee during Orlando's final regular season game in North Carolina. As a result, she missed Orlando's playoff game the following week.[6] Camila made her first appearance of the 2018 season following recovery from injury on 7 July against the Washington Spirit.[7]

In 2018, Camila spent the NWSL offseason on loan with Iranduba in Brazil. She played in all 5 of the team's Copa Libertadores matches as they finished third in their inaugural season in the competition.[8]

During the 2019–20 NWSL offseason, Camila joined the Australian W-League for the first time, signing a loan deal with Canberra United.[9] She made her debut for the team in the season opener on 17 November 2019, registering an assist in a 2–0 win over Perth Glory before being named to the W-League team of the week.[10] Camila played in the first 10 games of Canberra's season before suffering an MCL injury in training, ruling her out for the rest of the campaign.[11]

On August 12, 2020, Camila joined Série A1 team Palmeiras on loan.[12] In February 2021, she joined the club permanently following the expiration of her contract with Orlando.[13]

At the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada, Camila made three appearances for Brazil and served one assist.
