Born in Peruíbe, São Paulo,[2] Evelin impressed during a local futsal tournament in 2023, and joined the youth sides of Santos.[3] She made her first team debut on 3 September 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute for Thaisinha in a 2–2 Campeonato Paulista home draw against São Paulo.[4]

Evelin scored her first professional goal on 16 November 2025, netting his side's second in a 3–2 away loss to Red Bull Bragantino.[5] Despite only featuring in four matches of the tournament, she was named the breakthrough player of the Paulistão.[6]

Evelin was also called up to the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup,[11] and scored a further two goals in the tournament as Brazil finished fourth. In November 2025, she and Santos teammate Samara were called up to the under-20 team.[12]

On 10 April 2026, Evelin was called up to the full side for the 2026 FIFA Series, replacing injured Jheniffer; she was already with the under-20s for a set of friendlies.[13] She made her full international debut four days later, replacing Paloma Maciel late into a 6–1 routing of Zambia.[14]
