[edit] Career

[edit] Early career

Sanchez began dancing at age two, and by age sixteen she was doing some professional dancing with bands in local clubs. She also appeared in videos on MTV. She left New York after high school she at Atlanta's Oglethorpe University and studied accounting. She also started her own dance company. After graduation she worked as an assistant controller with J.W. Marriott in Atlanta, and two years later passed the CPA exam before working for an accounting firm in Atlanta.

[edit] World Championship Wrestling

She eventually learned from her dance instructor about World Championship Wrestling looking to hire Nitro Girls as dancers for their weekly television series WCW Monday Nitro. She contacted Melissa Bellin, whom she had worked with in the past, and received an audition with the company. She joined WCW's Nitro Girls dance troupe in 1997 as "Nitro Girl Tygress".

In November 1, 1999, Nitro Girl Spice (Melissa Bellin) announced she is the new leader of the Nitro Girls on Nitro after Kimberly Page announced she quit the group.[1] This starts a feud between Spice and A.C. Jazz.[1] However, A.C. Jazz quit WCW weeks later and Tygress replaced her in the feud.[1] In the November 22, 1999 episode of Nitro, Tygress vs Spice ended in a No Contest.[1]

She left the Nitro Girls in 2000 to become a wrestler and valet for The Filthy Animals stable.[1] She also began training at the WCW Power Plant[1] under the tutelage of Madusa to become a wrestler.

She had notable feuds with Misfits in Action valet Major Gunns and Torrie Wilson.[1] At the 2000 Halloween Havoc pay-per-view, she and Konnan defeated Wilson and Shane Douglas.[1]

[edit] Later career

After the demise of WCW in 2001, she became a member of the pop music group Diversity 5 with other former Nitro Girls Fyre, Spice, Chae, and Storm.
