She wanted to become a professional soccer player, although her plans were put on hold when she suffered an ankle injury in her senior year of high school in 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/espnw/culture/feature/article/21846729/former-wwe-star-natalie-eva-marie-soccer-career-going-hollywood-power-yes|last=Maine|first=D'Arcy|title=Former WWE star Natalie Eva Marie on her soccer career, going Hollywood and the power of 'YES'|date=December 22, 2017|work=ESPN|access-date=January 7, 2018}} Eva Marie, who played as a striker, recovered and continued playing at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California, where she received her associate degree in art.

She received Junior College All-American honors and transferred to Arizona State University, although a lack of self-confidence led her to stop playing. She transferred to California State University, Fullerton where the soccer coach persuaded her to play again. However, her National Collegiate Athletic Association eligibility had expired due to their "five-year clock" rule. Eva Marie later said that "I wouldn't have run into that problem if I just believed in myself from the start. Now that I'm older, I know it's so much better to have tried and maybe you fail, then to have never tried at all." She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in business management and a minor in human resource and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in modeling, acting and promotional work.

Eva Marie has said that she came across a casting call for WWE "by chance" and, after impressing talent scouts, won a four-week tryout. She then signed a developmental contract and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, to begin her training. In May 2013, she joined WWE and E!'s new reality show entitled Total Divas, that would show behind-the-scenes footage of select WWE Divas and a look into their personal lives.{{cite web|title=Total Divas Sneak Peak[sic], Bellas Body Slams and Big Egos|date=June 6, 2013|url=http://www.eonline.com/shows/total_divas/news/426438/total-divas-sneak-peek-bellas-body-slams-and-big-egos|publisher=Eonline.com|access-date=November 26, 2015}} She was also promoted to the main roster, having had just two weeks of formal training, which Eva Marie called a "whirlwind experience" which "changed my life immediately." She dyed her natural brown hair bright red and adopted her ring name. Eva Marie made her main roster debut on the July 1 episode of Raw, in a backstage segment along with her fellow Total Divas co-stars. Eva Marie accompanied Natalya to the ring on the July 4 episode of Superstars, where she defeated Naomi.{{cite web|last=Trionfo|first=Richard|title=WWE SUPERSTARS REPORT: BARRETT VS.
