Born into a sporting family, Tamires' sister, Monique is a Brazilian national champion in weightlifting, who also participated at the 2013 World Weightlifting Championships.[3]

Tamires initially began with athletics, but her height and strength soon caught the eyes of a handball coach, who saw great potential in her. She eventually chose handball and rose through the ranks quickly.[3]

In 2013, she was part of the Brazilian national team that won the South American Championship and a year later she went triumphant with the junior national team at the 2014 Pan American Women's Junior Handball Championship.

She signed a three-and-a-half year contract with Győri ETO KC in December 2014.[4]
