She began competing in the ring as a wrestler in 2005. After her debut Maria worked alongside the company's biggest superstars including John Cena, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Maria never shied away from angles or story lines and is most comfortable in the spotlight. She posed for the April 2008 cover and pictorial in Playboy magazine, which WWE incorporated into one of the year's most popular story-lines on Monday Night Raw. For the Playboy shoot, Maria chose several elements, including lighting, wardrobe and style. She even designed and produced some of her own wardrobe for this "high-fashion" themed layout. She has also created outfits for her wrestling matches, television appearances, red carpet charity events and high profile WWE ceremonies.

Shortly after she was released unexpectedly by the WWE, citing Maria's deep desire to pursue outside interests, such as TV, movies, and writing and producing her own music. Maria describes her rock music as a combination of glamour, twisted lyrics and sex appeal. The first EP is titled "Sevin Sins." Maria has only began her rise to stardom but already has millions of fans worldwide and an intense drive for success. Her creativity is evident in everything she does.

Dissatisfied with how people who are visually impaired were often marginalized by society and represented in mass media, Maria-Katre was determined to help tell their stories, their way. Her main goal for this remarkable documentary was to break the stigmas society places on people who are blind and demonstrate their full capabilities as human beings. "In Their Eyes" won a 1st place Associated Press Award for her university where it is currently on display at the School of Journalism and Graphic Communication. After receiving such a prestigious recognition, it was then that she knew she wanted to continue telling stories her way, using all of her talents. After graduating college, Maria moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to pursue her other dream of becoming an actor. While pursuing a career as an actor, the desire to tell stories continued to pursue her. Since moving to LA, Maria has written over five short-films and a scripted TV series pilot. Most recently, she wrote, co-produced and starred in a short film entitled, "MO" in 2020. "MO" is the story of a single mother facing eviction, who defers her dreams of becoming a professional musician to take on a job as an English as a Second Language teacher. "MO" has been selected in over 19 film festivals during the pandemic and has been recognized with several awards including "Best Screenwriter" by the Toronto International Women Film Festival, "Best Drama Short" and "Best Actress" by the Independent Shorts Awards and "Best Short Film Script" by the Dubai International Film Festival.
