Summer did a number of things to help herself. One of her more lucrative was prostitution. Eventually, she found herself working for a madam in California and getting mixed up with drugs and a wild crowd. Summer soon ended up strung out, nearly penniless, and close to suicide. That's when she decided that she needed some help. She quit her job and went through detox before deciding to return to New York and look up the one person who had been like family to her.
She moved back to the East Coast and immediately reconnected with Tawny, who had now become a successful, professional wrestler and socialite. Tawny was overjoyed to help the woman she considered a sister get back on her feet again.
Summer stayed with Tawny until she found a job as a receptionist, working for stylist Jose Lopez. But she soon wanted more. With little skills to fall back on, Summer was almost tempted to return to her old profession before turning her eyes to wrestling. After all, if Tawny could do it, then she could do it too.
Summer began training with Tawny and her personal trainer, before preparing for her own wrestling debut. With Tawny's blessing, Summer took her friend's last name, hoping that it would help open some doors for her. And it did, when she was quickly signed by FAWN 2, the feeder fed for the risque, women's organization FAWN.
Summer worked hard in the little regional promotion for over a year, perfecting her craft and waiting for her big break. She soon grew to love the profession that she had previously seen only as a way to earn a quick buck. She loved the roar of the crowd and the chance to finally make a success of herself. She felt that her life finally had a purpose.
Her big break finally came when agents from NAWC came across her wrestling tapes and expressed interest in signing her. Ready to advance her career and tired of the T&A element in F2, she quickly signed an NAWC contract.
