Perry grew up in Frisco, Texas, the daughter of Steven and Lisa Perry, and has three siblings. Her father played minor league baseball for the Class ASan Jose Bees. Perry played club soccer for Solar SC, winning the ECNL under-14 national title and being named to the tournament Best XI in 2017. She later moved to Sting SC, earning ECNL all-conference honors in 2021. She originally committed to Texas Tech as a freshman, then flipped her commitment to Mississippi State as a senior. She played high school soccer for one season at Wakeland High School, earning United Soccer Coaches high school All-American honors after helping the team to the UIL 5A state final as a senior in 2021.
College career
Perry had 4 assists in 14 games for the Mississippi State Bulldogs as a freshman in 2021, then redshirted most of her sophomore season after suffering a leg injury. She returned to score 2 goals in 20 games primarily as a substitute during her redshirt sophomore season in 2023, helping the Bulldogs to the SEC tournament semifinals and the NCAA tournament third round, both milestones in team history. She had a breakout season as a junior in 2024, starting all 22 games, leading the team with 10 goals, and adding 4 assists, and earned first-team All-SEC honors. Under head coach James Armstrong, the Bulldogs went undefeated in the regular season to win the first SEC regular-season title in team history and again reached the NCAA tournament third round.
Perry then considered signing with Italian club Juventus, but decided return to college for a fifth and final season as team captain in 2025. During the season, she scored in five consecutive games in SEC play, including a late double in an upset of No. 1–ranked Tennessee. She finished the season leading the team with 8 goals and 8 assists in 19 games, returning to the SEC tournament semifinals but losing in the NCAA tournament first round. She earned first-team All-SEC and first-team All-American honors and was named the SEC Midfielder of the Year.
Club career
On January 14, 2026, Juventus announced that the club had signed Perry to her first professional contract on a two-and-a-half-year deal. Two weeks later, she made her professional debut as a 75th-minute substitute in a 2–1 win over Napoli in the second leg of the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. She made 3 appearances for the club in all competitions.
On July 28, 2026, Perry returned to the United States, joining USL Super League champions Lexington SC on a permanent transfer. She made her Super League debut on August 15, 2026, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sarah Griffith in Lexington's season-opening win over Brooklyn FC.
