Duda started playing beach volleyball when he was five. At the age of thirteen, the South American competed in a world championship for the first time. With Drussyla Costa, she was able to defeat the German Sandra Ittlinger / Yanina Weiland in the group matches of the U19 World Cup , but the Brazilian duo failed in the quarter-finals and finished fifth. In the following year, Weiland retaliated with Anna Behlen at the U21 World Cup in the round of 16, so that Duda and her new partner Tainá Silva Bigi reached ninth place. Previously, the fourteen-year-old won the silver medal at the U23 World Cup as the youngest player of all time at a Junior World Championship (including the U21 events) after a three-set defeat in the final against Victoria Bieneck and Isabel Schneider together with Thais Rodrigues Ferreira. Also as the youngest athlete of all previous youth events, Duda managed to win the U19 Youth World Cup in Porto with Tainá in the same year . With Andressa Cavalcanti Ramalho Duda was able to repeat this title win in 2014. In the same year, the now sixteen-year-old South American and her partner Ana Patrícia won the gold medal at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing after beating the McNamara twins in the final . In 2016, Duda and Ana Patrícia were victorious at the U21 World Cup in Lucerne . With Victoria, she also won the U19 World Cup in 2016. In 2017 Duda and Ana Patrícia successfully defended their U21 world championship in Nanjing.

After a fifth place in Lucerne , the two Brazilians achieved their best result on the FIVB World Tour with third place at the Prague Open . At the first event of the 2015/16 tour, the Vallarta Open in Mexico , the two South Americans topped this result by reaching the final, which they lost to Ludwig / Walkenhorst .
