Stephie debuted in Shimmer Women Athletes on October 19, 2008, losing to Rachel Summerlyn on Sparkle (Shimmer's pre-show). In May 2009, she returned to Sparkle, teaming with Kimberly Kash to lose to Summerlyn and Rayna Von Tash, before losing to Kash in a singles match. She earned her first victory in November, teaming with Kacey Diamond to defeat Kash and Leva. She and Diamond faced Nevaeh and Ashley Lane at the Volume 28 taping, but lost. She returned to Shimmer at the next tapings on April 10 and 11, 2010, losing to Madison Eagles and Jessie McKay. After a year-long absence, she returned to Shimmer on March 27, 2011, losing to LuFisto. At the October 1, 2011, tapings, Stephie formed a new partnership with the villainous Nevaeh.
