As a young skater in South Florida, Domond began an email exchange with skateboard filmmaker Bill Strobeck.[2] She began sending him short clips of her skating, which Strobeck started showing to other skaters including Jason Dill.[2] Domond gradually gained a fanbase within a small community of professional skateboarders, mostly based in NYC.[2] Through the support of Jason Dill and Bill Strobeck, Beatrice got on the team at Fucking Awesome Officially (a company founded by Dill).[2] Beatrice received her first box from FA in September, 2013.[4] In May 2018, Dill officially put Beatrice on the FA team as a sponsored amateur.[4]

In 2014, Domond performed a trick, a no-comply impossible, in the Supreme 'cherry' video by Bill Strobeck.[5] The following year in 2015, Domond made the list of 5 young female skaters to watch out for by I-D Magazine. She was listed alongside Allysha Bergado, Alana Smith, Anne-Sophie Julien, and Leo Baker.[6]
