Early life
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 A San 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.
