Professional wrestling career
Following in the footsteps of Gail Kim and Traci Brooks, as well as other fast-rising Canadian female wrestlers who are making their marks across North America, Danyah came to the wrestling business through the Squared Circle Pro Wrestling facility and the Devine Dungeon.

She has wrestled well known wrestlers such as Nattie Neidhart, Gail Kim, and Traci Brooks. She also wrestles in Canada under the name Miss Danyah. Danyah was voted best female body in the wrestling business in PWI magazine in 2010 and 2011.
After missing the first show where she was scheduled to take on She Nay Nay Danyah will make her debut for NCW Femmes Fatales in a Fatal 4 Way also involving the debuting PJ Tyler, She Nay Nay and Addy Starr. Once again Danyah couldn't make it to NCW Femmes Fatales so the Fatal 4 Way got cancelled. She is now booked for the Third Show.
