She is best known for her time in World Wrestling Entertainment under the ring name Victoria and her current tenure in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling/Impact Wrestling under the ring name Tara, where she is currently one-half of the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions with partner Brooke Tessmacher. She started competing in fitness competitions and won ESPN2's Fitness America Series in 1997. In 1999, she placed second at a fitness event in New York to earn her International Federation of BodyBuilders Professional Fitness Card. She met World Wrestling Federation (WWF) performer Chyna, who encouraged her to become a wrestler. She trained in the WWF's developmental territories for three years before being moved to the main roster to compete full time under the ring name Victoria, making her first TV appearance at WrestleMania XVI as one of The Godfather's Hos. Four months later, she was pushed to win the Women's Championship, a title she held twice in her wrestling career. She is bold, edgy, and unpredictable and enjoys weightlifting and watching sports.
