Barnett joined Team Bath Tennis High-International Performance Academy as a 16-year-old through the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sport and Exercise (AASE) programme and has since returned for postgraduate studies. ^[4] It is believed that she took her studies abroad and graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois, in 2017. ^{[3] [2]}

Career

Barnett made her WTA Tour debut, partnering with Olivia Nicholls, at the 2022 Lyon Open where they reached the final. ^{[5] [6]} Their subsequent performance throughout 2022, including winning the 2022 Championnats Banque Nationale de Granby, ^[7] led to both being selected for the British team ties vs. Kazakhstan and Spain at the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup Finals. ^[8]

Partnering with Jonny O'Mara at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, Barnett reached the mixed doubles quarterfinals. ^[9] She repeated the feat, this time alongside Marcus Willis, at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships. ^[10]
