Born in Bauru, São Paulo, Paola began her career with hometown side Noroeste before joining Ferroviária in 2019.[2] In the following year, she moved to São Paulo,[3] playing for their under-17 and under-18 squads.

Paola signed for Atlético Mineiro in 2022; initially a member of the under-20 team, she made her debut with the main squad on 18 September of that year, starting and scoring the winner in a 1–0 Campeonato Mineiro home win over Uberlândia.[4] She would feature in only two more matches with the first team in the main squad, being mainly utilized with the under-20s.

She made her first team debut for the side on 15 March, coming on as a late substitute for Maria Alves in a 1–1 Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1 home draw against Real Brasília,[5] and scored her first goal on 22 May, in a 3–0 Campeonato Paulista away win over Pinda.[6]
