Born in Santos, Nena began her career at São Vicente AC. Having played for several clubs in Brazilian football, the athlete was notable for being top scorer twice in editions of the lower divisions of the Brazilian Championship: in 2009 in Série C, playing for ASA,[1] and in 2014 in Série D, playing for Brasil de Pelotas.[2] He was Amazonian champion in 2018 with Manaus, and ended his career at FC Santa Cruz, winning the FGF Cup and the Gáucho Série B with the club.[3]

Naturalized under the influence of a friend Jonatas Obina, Nena played one match for the Equatorial Guinea national team on 24 March 2013, vs. Cape Verde. Due to later problems with documentation, he was never called up again.[4]
