Landry joins the Spiders after spending the past two seasons on staff at Temple, where she returned to her alma mater in May 2023 as director of player personnel before being elevated to assistant coach/director of player personnel. During her time on staff, the Owls captured the 2023-24 American Athletic Conference regular-season title and the 2024-25 Big 5 Championship.
Before returning to Temple, Landry spent the 2022-23 season as director of basketball operations at Vermont under head coach Alisa Kresge. She helped guide the Catamounts to the America East Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth while assisting with gameday operations, opponent scouting, film breakdown and team travel.

A Milwaukee native, Landry appeared in all 130 games during her four-year career and helped lead the Owls to four NCAA Tournament appearances. Playing three seasons under then-head coach Dawn Staley, Landry was part of teams that won back-to-back Atlantic 10 tournament titles in 2005 and 2006.
As a senior in 2008-09, Landry earned Second Team All-Atlantic 10, Atlantic 10 All-Defensive Team, Atlantic 10 Most Improved Player, Big 5 Most Improved Player and First Team All-Big 5 honors. She finished her Temple career fifth in program history in field goal percentage at 49.8%, eighth in career blocks with 103 and 12th in career rebounds with 747.
Following her collegiate career, Landry played professionally for 13 seasons across seven countries, competing in Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary and Lithuania. She won the French LF2 Championship and earned numerous individual honors throughout her professional career.
