Gymnastics career As a child, Gomes began training at the State Sports Training Center (CETE) in Rio Grande do Sul. After taking part in a school cup at the Grêmio Náutico União, she ended up being called up to the club's team. In 2005, she got her first chance to join the Brazilian women's artistic gymnastics team, but was dismissed after being accused of indiscipline and weight problems. After suffering injuries in 2007, she quit her gymnastics career and started working in a coffee shop after finishing high school. It was in 2009 that she was invited to return to Grêmio Náutico União to complete the team for the Brazilian Championships. In 2010, she returned to the Brazilian national team.

Gomes made her debut at the 2010 Ghent World Cup and finished fourth on the balance beam. She helped Brazil win the team bronze medal at the 2010 Pan American Championships, behind the United States and Canada. At the 2010 World Championships, she helped the Brazilian team finish tenth in the qualifications, two spots away from the team final.

Gomes won a team gold medal at the 2011 South American Championships and also won the individual all-around title. She won two more gold medals in the vault and balance beam finals. She then won a bronze medal on the vault at the 2011 Ghent World Cup, behind Jade Barbosa and Valeria Maksyuta. She competed at the 2011 World Championships with the team that finished 14th in the qualifications. She then represented Brazil at the 2011 Pan American Games, where Brazil finished fifth in the team competition.
