Daiane was born in Bagé, Rio Grande do Sul.

Daiane played for Brazil at the 2002 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship.

Daiane played for Brazil at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, when they sustained a quarterfinal loss to the United States. In that match, Daiane scored an own goal in the second minute to put her team down 1–0, but Brazil tied the game on a penalty kick to force extra time. The teams each scored a goal in extra time to send the match to penalty kicks, and Daiane had the only missed attempt for either team, as her shot to the left was saved by U.S. keeper Hope Solo. The United States advanced to the semifinals of the Cup while Brazil was eliminated.
