In her teenage years, she started writing for wrestling newsletters and even started her own for a while. She was on wrestling hotlines giving news and feedback on the wrestling universe, then venturing on to managing her high school wrestling team as a senior. She officially debuted her wrestling career at Sunshine Wrestling Federation in Florida in 1995, then at Future of Wrestling She later publicly fired one of her charges, "Playboy" Bobby Davis, leaving for Florida Championship Wrestling and resulting in a promotional dispute between the two promotions.

She has worked in numerous promotions since then, such as AWA World 1 South, Florida Championship Wrestling, Full Impact Pro, the Independent Professional Wrestling Association, and Pro Wrestling Riot, and has made appearances outside Florida with the National Wrestling Alliance traveling as far as NWA New York where she feuded with Rick O'Brian hoping to take his position as NWA New York Commissioner.
