She danced for the Los Angeles Clippers Spirit, the NBA-affiliated dance squad for the Los Angeles Clippers (Clippers Spirit), and made guest appearances on reality and entertainment shows such as Deal or No Deal, Sunset Tan, and other programs. Her dance and modeling work provided the platform that led her to enter WWE's talent search and sign a contract after winning the Diva Search competition in 2007.
