Club career
Born in Atibaia, São Paulo, Letícia played for the youth sides of Palmeiras, Santos, Bangu, XV de Piracicaba and Kindermann. She made her senior debut at XV in 2012, before moving to São José in 2014.[4]
In January 2015, after helping São José to win the 2014 International Women's Club Championship,[5] Letícia moved abroad for the first time in her career, joining Avaldsnes IL of the Norwegian Toppserien.[6] There, she played with compatriots Andréia Rosa, Luana and Bruna Benites.
After two seasons in Norway, Letícia signed for the German club SC Sand on 16 January 2017.[7] She extended her contract a year later after her performances impressed the team's coach.[8]
In June 2019, Letícia moved to fellow first division side 1. FFC Frankfurt.[9] She suffered a knee injury the following March,[10] but still continued at the club afterwards, after they merged with Eintracht Frankfurt.
On 10 January 2024, Letícia returned to her home country after being announced at Corinthians.[11] Exactly two years later, she returned to Santos on a one-year contract, now for the first team.[12]

With the Brazil national under-20 team, Letícia attended the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in 2014.[13] She played in all three matches in the competition, as they were knocked out in the group stage. Prior to that, she helped the side to win the 2014 South American U-20 Women's Championship, playing in all seven matches of the tournament.
Letícia received her first call-up to the full side in March 2017 for a friendly against Bolivia in Manaus.[14] She started the match and assisted Marta for Brazil's third goal in their 6–0 win.[15]
In October 2017, Letícia was recalled to the senior national team for the 2017 Yongchuan International Tournament as a replacement for regular right-back Fabiana who withdrew with a knee sprain.[16] She would also be included in the squads for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Copa América Femenina, winning the latter tournament.
