She reached her best singles ranking of world No. 576 on 3 October 2011, and made her WTA Tour debut at the 2015 Auckland Open.

Westbury has two brothers. At age of three she moved to Bangkok, Thailand with her parents where she attended pre-school and primary school. Westbury began playing tennis at the age of 6 at the British Club in Bangkok. Her family returned to New Zealand two years later, settling in Christchurch, where she attended Burnside Primary School and Cobham Intermediate School, while also playing on the Canterbury Tennis Regional Squad under coach Glenn Wilson. In 2005 the family moved to Sydney, before further re-locating to Burwood East, Victoria, where she still resides.


Tennis career



2015


Having played doubles in just one previous ITF tournament, and that being six years earlier, Westbury was awarded a wildcard into the Auckland Open with Rosie Cheng, where they were beaten by Petra Martić and Anna Tatishvili in the first round.


2018


Westbury played her only Fed Cup matches for New Zealand in Bahrain in February 2018. She won her only singles rubber, and won one and lost one doubles rubber.


2020


Westbury resumed her professional career in 2020, starting at the reintroduced ITF tournament in Hamilton. She reached the semifinals of both singles and doubles, and followed that by reaching the second round of singles in Mildura before international tennis was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She resumed after the break with a series of tournaments in Monastir, Tunisia.
