Corinthians goalkeeper Nicole, despite having difficulties balancing academic and professional life, managed to complete her Physical Education course at Unidavi University, located in Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina. Graduation took place through EAD (Distance Learning). On her social networks, the archer celebrated the achievement.
"Today I close a cycle that required dedication, discipline and persistence. I am grateful to UNIDAVI for being part of this journey, to my parents for their unconditional support and for always believing in me, and to Professor Júlio, who spared no effort to help me throughout this entire process. Here's to the next challenges", she said.

The archer was hired by Corinthians at the beginning of 2024, after leaving Atlético-MG. She arrived to fight for the starting position with Kemelli and Lelê who, shortly afterwards, injured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and missed the remainder of that season. In this way, he established himself as a starter and was important in winning the Campeonato Brasileiro and Conmebol Libertadores that year.
Even with Lelê's return, having recovered from injury, at the beginning of 2025, Nicole continued to be the holder of the position and was decisive in winning the Brazilian Championship and Libertadores last year. The 26-year-old athlete was elected best in the position in the last edition of the national competition by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and in the Bola de Prata award, by ESPN Brasil.
In the semi-final and final of the Libertadores, against Ferroviária and Deportivo Cali-COL, he played a fundamental role in defending penalty kicks in maximum penalties. In the decision, he even played a large part of the match with the fifth finger on his right hand broken and, despite this, he remained on the field the entire time. After the end of the tournament, he underwent surgery and missed the first games of the 2026 season.
Recently, she was called up, along with six other Corinthians athletes, to the Brazilian National Team for a period of training between the 15th and 20th of June, at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, aiming to prepare for the 2027 Women's World Cup, which will take place on Brazilian soil. In 59 games for Timão, there are 39 wins, 14 draws and six defeats - 74.01% success rate.
