Born in Toronto, Canada, Listro was a standout soccer player at Bayview Glen School and was awarded team MVP 2009–11. She played club soccer for Wexford SC and the Ontario Soccer National Training Centre as a youth, later playing for Toronto Lady Lynx in the USL W-League and Sanjaxx Lions in League1 Ontario.[2]
Listro played college soccer at the University of South Florida while majoring in health sciences. She was a four-year starter for the South Florida Bulls between 2013 and 2016, becoming the program's record appearance maker with 82.[2][3] As a senior she was named to the AAC All-Conference Second Team.[4]
Listro entered the 2017 NWSL College Draft but was not selected.[5] In June 2017, she signed with Spanish Primera División team UDG Tenerife.[3][6] Listro made her professional debut starting in a 1–1 with Rayo Vallecano on September 3, 2017. She made a total of five appearances for the team before departing in November 2017, returning to Canada for personal reasons.[7][8]
After a spell working as a medical sales representative, Listro attempted to make a return to professional soccer and was a trialist with Orlando Pride during 2020 preseason.[9] With the season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Listro was one of seven players signed to a short-term contract with Orlando in order to compete in the Fall Series in September following the team's decision to loan out 11 senior players to play regularly overseas.[10][11][12] She made her debut on September 19, 2020, in the first fall series match, starting in a 0–0 draw with North Carolina Courage.[13] She started in three of the four Fall Series matches for a combined 262 minutes.[14] Ahead of the 2021 season, Listro re-signed with the club on a one-year deal with an option for an additional season.[15]
On March 30, 2021, Listro was traded to expansion side Kansas City NWSL (later renamed Kansas City Current) in exchange for a third-round pick in 2022 NWSL Draft, changing to a second-round pick should certain conditions be met.[16] On December 8, 2021, it was announced Listro had been released as part of the team's offseason roster moves.[17]
On December 14, 2021, Listro was selected off the waiver wire by the North Carolina Courage.[18] In March 2022, she was released prior to the start of the season having not been named to the final roster.[19]
On May 7, 2022, it was announced Listro had rejoined Orlando Pride for the remainder of the 2022 season.[20]
As well as Canada, Listro was also eligible to represent Italy at international level, the birthplace of her grandparents.[21]
In 2012, Listro was named to the Canada under-17 squad for the 2012 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup held in Azerbaijan. She made one appearance at the tournament, as a substitute in the opening game against Nigeria.[22][14]
After Canada Soccer had dropped contact with Listro when she went to college,[23] she received her first senior national team call-up in January 2021 for a training camp ahead of the 2021 SheBelieves Cup.[24] She was one of six uncapped players named to incoming head coach Bev Priestman's first squad.[25] Listro made her senior international debut on February 21, starting in the second game of the tournament and playing 61 minutes of a 1–0 win over Argentina.[26][27]
In November 2021, Listro got engaged to fellow University of South Florida alumnus and professional golfer Cristian DiMarco.[28] The pair had started dating in March 2017.[29]
