She placed first in the 2007 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships, as well as fifth place in her size class in the 2008 Arnold Classic. She also placed in the 2007 Musclemania Superbody, the 2008 Junior USA, and the 2009 Junior Nationals and was planning to transition from figure competitions to bodybuilding contests before signing with WWE.
