Patricia Anne Stratigeas, better known as Trish Stratus, is marketed as a former wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Before she became a mainstay in professional wrestling, she was a student at York University in Toronto, Canada where she majored in Biology and Kinesiology. While in school, the professors went on strike and then she worked as a receptionist at a local fitness club. There she was soon discovered by an agent who landed her a job to become a fitness model.
Her success as a fitness model eventually caught the attention of a WWE talent official who sent her a letter, offering her a contract. Around that time other wrestling promotions had also offered her a similar contract, but she decided to sign with the WWE. She then made her WWE debut in March 19, 2000 on Sunday Night Heat: Episode #3.12 (2000), where she formed the tag team of T & A with Test (Andrew Martin) and Albert (Matt Bloom).
