Born to Soun Frary, a ballerina dancer and her father, Lee Leavy, California State High School Wrestling Champion; Aja's athletic genes set the stage for her future. Aja excelled as a 3 sport high school athlete and by college earned a full scholarship as a Track and Field Heptathlete at San Diego State University.

In 2000, while still a collegiate athlete, Aja was one of the youngest competitors at the Olympic Trials, placing 9th. After college Aja was accepted into the United States Olympic Training Center program where she was able to train full time and compete across the country and the world. In 2004 an injury struck just before her most promising Olympic Trails competition. While healing, a college friend knew she would make an ideal stunt double and stunt performer.
