## Professional wrestling career
### Independent circuit (2018–present)

Starkz began training in wrestling at age 13 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, making her professional wrestling debut in October 2018. According to a 2023 story by local TV station WDRB, during her first weeks at Atherton High School in Louisville, Kentucky in 2019, "a caring teacher pulled her into the hall to ask questions about her parents and home life" because she showed up with bumps and bruises resulting from wrestling.
In 2020, she began working for Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and on October 10 of that year, she competed in a 30-person battle royal at Joey Janela's Spring Break 4.
On June 25, 2022, Starkz won the H2O Hybrid Championship. On November 12, at BLP Slamilton, Starkz defeated Calvin Tankman to win the BLP Heavyweight Championship.

### All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2022–present)

On the December 27, 2022, episode of AEW Dark, Starkz made her debut, losing to Red Velvet. On April 7, 2023, at Battle of the Belts VI, Jade Cargill defeated Starkz to retain the AEW TBS Championship. Four days later, it was reported that Starkz had been signed by AEW.
On the March 9, 2023, episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling, Starkz made her Ring of Honor (ROH) debut, where she lost to Trish Adora. Two weeks later, she had her first win in ROH when she defeated Miranda Alize. On June 25 at Forbidden Door, Starkz competed in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, losing to Athena in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
In late 2023, Starkz along with Lexy Nair joined forces with ROH Women's World Champion Athena as her Minion in Training (M.I.T.). Starkz would challenge Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Final Battle in 2023 and 2024, being defeated both times. Between those matches, she became the first ROH Women's World Television Champion after she defeated Queen Aminata at Supercard of Honor. On July 26 at Death Before Dishonor, Starkz lost the ROH Women's World Television Championship to Red Velvet, ending her reign at 112 days. Despite Starkz teasing leaving M.I.T., on the December 26 episode of ROH Wrestling, Athena expelled Nair and declared that Starkz and herself will be Minions forever.

### Major League Wrestling (2023)

On the February 28, 2023, episode of MLW Underground Wrestling, Starkz made her MLW debut, defeating Kayla Kassidy. On the March 21 episode of Underground Wrestling, she faced Taya Valkyrie for the MLW Women's Featherweight Championship but lost the match. Starkz then faced B3cca twice at SuperFight and War Chamber, both in a winning effort.
