By the time Grace was just 14 years old, she had started training in both amateur and professional wrestling in her hometown of Austin, Texas. She graduated high school early to purse her passion full-time. By age 17, she had already wrestled internationally for Lucha Libre Femenil in Monterrey, Mexico.

She officially made her debut on the independent scene in September 2012. It didn’t take long for Grace to be wrestling an expanded schedule across multiple promotions, including Bad Boys of Wrestling, IWA Mid-South, Resistance Pro Wrestling, Lone Star Championship Wrestling, and more. Her first title win came in Keystone Pro Wrestling when she captured the KPW Vixen Championship in July 2015.

Grace would wrestle for even more promotions including Atomic Championship Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Magic over the years, facing opponents like Veda Scott, Britt Baker, Brandi Rhodes, and even former Knockout Angelina Love. Grace teamed alongside LuFisto as “Team PAWG,” or “Phat A** White Girl,” primarily in Beyond Wrestling, but in a number of other promotions, from 2017 through 2018. 

She made her debut for SHINE Wrestling in July 2017 when she entered the SHINE Nova Title Tournament, where she defeated La Rosa Negra in the first round. Over the next few years, she’d compete at SHINE 44, SHINE 48, and SHINE 50, and most recently defeated Xandra Bale at SHINE 52 in July 2018.

Throughout her time on the indies, Grace would also hold the ACW Fire Women’s Championship, the Black Label Pro Heavyweight Championship (for almost 200 days), Pro Wrestling Magic’s Women’s title, Battle Club Pro’s ICONS Championship, and more.
