Buckley began karting at the age of six,[2][3] competing until 2022.[4] During her karting career, Buckley was selected to participate in the inaugural edition of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program in 2020,[5] but wasn't able to attend due to travel restrictions.[6] Two years later, Buckley was able to participate in the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars program, in which she was one of the four finalists of the Senior category.[7]

After racing part-time in cars in 2021 and 2022,[8][9] Buckley stepped up to cars full-time in 2023, racing in the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia 86 Scholarship Series.[10] In her first season in the series, Buckley won all three races at Queensland Raceway and scored one further podium to end the year 16th in points.[11] During 2023, Buckley also raced in the EFS 4x4 Accessories Excel Cup and the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia 86 Series,[12] and also partook in the 2023–24 Toyota 86 Championship New Zealand for RaceLab Drivers Academy.[13][14] In her only full-time season in the series, Buckley scored a best result of fourth at Highlands en route to a ninth-place points finish.[15]

Remaining in Toyota one-make competition for 2024, Buckley continued racing in both the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia GR Cup and the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia Scholarship Series.[16] In the former, Buckley scored a best result of ninth three times en route to a 17th-place points finish,[17] whereas in the latter, Buckley took a lone podium in race one at Queensland Raceway by finishing second.[18] At the end of the year, Buckley raced part-time in the 2024–25 Toyota 86 Championship New Zealand for RaceLab Academy,[19] taking a best result of fifth in race three at Taupo.[20]

Continuing in Toyota one-make series through 2025, Buckley returned to both the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia GR Cup and the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia Scholarship Series for the third consecutive year.[21] Between the two series, Buckley found more success in the latter, taking three wins and six further podiums to seal the title at Tailem Bend.[22] During 2025, Buckley also made select appearances in the TA2 Racing Muscle Car Series for IES Motorsport.[23] On her debut round at the first Queensland round, Buckley scoring a pole and winning twice,[24] before repeating the same feat two months later at the same venue.[25][26] Also in 2025, Buckley raced in the final three rounds of the Australian National Trans Am Series for Six80 Racing.[27]
