Club
She started practicing the sport at the age of 8, growing an interest due to her sister training basketball and the fact they living in a city with a traditional club, ADCF Americana. Costa thrived despite her short stature - she began at basketball measuring 1.4 metres (4.6 ft), and grew to only 1.64 metres (5.4 ft) - drawing inspiration from a national team player with the same height, Adriana Moisés Pinto, and focusing on having a fast game. Playing for Americana, she won the Brazilian championship twice, in 2011 and 2013.
International
After many years in the youth Brazilian teams, Costa was given a chance at the senior squad once Americana coach Luiz Augusto Zanon assumed the Brazilian national team in 2013. As part of the rotation replacing her idol Adrianinha, Costa won two South American Championships and a bronze at the 2013 FIBA Americas Championship for Women, and competed at the 2014 FIBA World Championship, and the 2015 Pan American Games.
