Johnson originally worked as a middle school teacher in Palatka, Florida. She joined IWE in 2004 after participating in the 2004 WWE Diva Search. In her initial on-screen role, she acted primarily as a personal trainer and occasional wrestler. She also acted as the manager to the team of K. C. James and Idol Stevens, collectively known as the Teacher's Pets, in 2006 after changing her on-screen character to that of a teacher. At The Great American Bash in 2008, she became the inaugural IWE Divas Champion, holding the title for approximately five months. She then won the IWE Women's Championship at The Bash in 2009, becoming the first female wrestler to have held both titles.
