American independent circuit (2011–2014)

Scott debuted in May 2011. Her earliest recorded match took place on May 15, 2011 at a Horizon Wrestling Alliance event, where they were defeated by Daizee Haze.

Scott started wrestling for Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW) on July 29, 2011 with a loss to Cherry Bomb at ''Girls Night Out 4''. In the second half of 2012, Gregory Iron employed Scott as his legal counsel, and they helped him implement a stipulation that he, the "Handicapped Hero", could only be pinned with a count of four instead of the standard three. On November 23, 2012 at ''Hell on Earth 8'', Iron and Scott defeated defending champions The Batiri (Kodama and Obariyon) to capture the AIW Tag Team Championship. Known together as Hope and Change, they were known to have won and defended their title through nefarious means, and thus racked up successful title defenses against various teams including the Batiri, Youthanazia (Josh Prohibition and Matt Cross), the Old School Express (Jock Samson and Marion Fontaine) and the Jollyville Fuck-Its (Russ Myers and T-Money). Hope and Change remained champions until ''Absolution VIII'' on June 30, 2013, when they lost their titles back to the Batiri.
