In her youth, Todd trained and competed in gymnastics, but later gave up the pursuit due to wanting a balance with her personal life.[3]

After beginning kickboxing classes, Todd's then boyfriend, now husband, introduced her to a Muay Thai gym.[5]

On July 12, 2019, in another kickboxing match, Todd defeated Chuang Kai Ting by majority decision at ONE Championship: Masters of Destiny.[8]

On October 13, 2019, fighting under Muay Thai rules, she defeated Ekaterina Vandaryeva by second-round knockout at ONE Championship: Century.[9]
