Early career
2001, after graduating from college and while working for her grandfather's roofing company, she tried-out for the new Houston Texans cheerleading squad. She was one of thirty-five contestants selected in a rigorous two-day process.During her career as a Houston Texans cheerleader, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, forcing her to a desk job. Her inactive lifestyle and poor nutrition took an additional toll on her body. To get in shape, she joined a local gym. She continued to work-out and improve but was dissatisfied with her results. After consulting a nutritionist, she was put on a proper diet to transform her body.
Later career
Eason was 'discovered' at a fitness competition in Austin, Texas. She received a pro card after her first fitness competition in 2006 at the Hardbody Entertainment Model Search at the Olympia.As a spokes-model, Eason is known as "the female face" of Bodybuilding.com. She also focuses on removing the stereotype athletic women are unfeminine. Eason says she regrets some of her earlier photo-shoots showing more skin during her younger days. She continues fitness modeling, but encourages women in fitness and modeling to never show a lot of skin... saying "It's not worth it." Her training-style mostly revolves around weight-training; she says she prefers that over cardio training, so she doesn't do cardio training a lot but focuses on weight training.
