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]
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]
