Career

Miles was a member of the Rutgers University women's basketball team. She graduated from Rutgers in 2001. In May 2001, she tried out for a roster spot with the Seattle Storm of the WNBA, but was released during the team's training camp. Miles and her Rutgers teammates were featured in a 2004 documentary film of the team's 2000-2001 season entitled This Is A Game, Ladies.

In 2002, Miles entered and won the second series of WWE Tough Enough. She and co-winner Jackie Gayda were awarded developmental contracts with the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment. Miles appeared on the June 8, 2002 episode of WWE Velocity, and faced her trainer, Ivory, with Gayda in her corner. Miles lost to Ivory after Gayda turned heel by pushing her off the top turnbuckle, costing her the match. Then Miles and Gayda were then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling for further training and development.

Miles returned to WWE television under the name Shaniqua in June 2003 as the manager of The Basham Brothers. She was sent back to OVW in early 2004 for further training, and was released from her contract by the WWE on November 12, 2004.
