Barry was named the New Zealand Player of the Year in 2022 and 2023.[4] She won her first doubles title on the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour in July 2022 in Caloundra, Australia with fellow Kiwi Vivian Yang.[6] In July 2023, she won her second title, playing doubles with Indian player Shrivalli Bhamidipaty in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand with a straight-sets win over home pairing Punnin Kovapitukted and Supapitch Kuearum.[7] That month, she represented New Zealand in the 2023 Billie Jean King Cup, playing doubles alongside Vivian Yang in a 3-0 win over Malaysia.[8]
In December 2023, she won the wildcard play-off match at the ASB Tennis Arena in Auckland to earn a debut on the WTA Tour at the 2024 Auckland Open,[9][10] where she lost to Elina Avanesyan in the first round.[11] Ranked at world No. 726, Barry was given a wildcard entry into the main draw of the 2026 Auckland Open, but again she lost in the first round, this time to Ella Seidel.[12][13]
