Felgueiras interned at SIC and the newspaper Expresso in 1999, and she was briefly with Barcelona Television in Spain the year before. She holds a degree in social communication from NOVA University Lisbon. Her first major high-profile case was covering the disappearance of the English girl Madeleine McCann in 2010, during which she interviewed the child's parents; she also appeared in the Netflix docu-series about the case. After a 21-year career at RTP, her departure was marked by controversy following the cancellation of Sexta às 9 by the network's news management.[4] In 2022, Felgueiras launched the program Investigação Sábado, broadcast on CMTV.[5] Later that year, she left CMTV and joined TVI/CNN Portugal, where she currently presents the Jornal Nacional and the investigative journalism segment Exclusivo.[6]
