Her debut on a televised program occurred in 2008, when she joined the cast of Dilemas de Irene. Two years later, she joined the Quinta Categoria team at MTV Brasil, having participated in several other programs on the network between 2010 and 2012.

Tatá only rose to fame in 2013, after passing the acting test, and obtaining the role of a comical piriguete who wanted to marry a rich man, in the soap opera Amor à Vida, broadcast on TV Globo. Her performance was hugely successful and made her the revelation of the year almost unanimously in the press.

With the premiere of Lady Night in April, Werneck became the first woman to host a late night talk show on a pay channel on Brazilian television. In 2018, she played the fun Lucrécia in Deus Salve o Rei, a seven o'clock soap opera on Globo.

In terms of acting, Tatá stands out for her skillful improvisation, and in May 2016, she was considered by journalist Nathália Carapeços, from the newspaper Zero Hora, "one of the main names in humor in the country". In 2010, the actress was elected the funniest comedian in the country by readers of the website Universo Online. In 2013, she received the nickname "Queen of Improviso" from the iG portal and, in 2014, she won the title of "Breakthrough Actress" in a poll carried out by Folha de S.Paulo with TV Globo viewers.

In May 2016, Capricho magazine named her "Queen of Comedy".

In addition to being an actress, Tatá has been the vocalist of a musical group called Renatinho, since 2015, and actively works in defense of animal protection and the social inclusion of people with disabilities, having been one of the founders of the first Brazilian theater group to produce plays accessible to those , called Os Inclusos e os Sisos - Mobilization Theater for Diversity.
