Fisher was born on 24 February 1968 in Cheshunt[2] and grew up in Tonbridge, Kent[3] and lived later in Peacehaven, East Sussex.

Feeling that she did not receive the same respect as the male players, she moved to the United States to play on the WPBA Tour.

She was the top-ranked player on the Women's Professional Billiards Association (WPBA) circuit from September 1996 to June 2001, and again each year from 2002 to 2007.

[5] In 2007, she was declared the female Player of the Year by all three of the major pool publications, Billiards Digest,[9] Pool & Billiard Magazine,[10] and InsidePOOL Magazine[11] (in each case with Shane Van Boening as her male co-recipient of the honor), and also ranked #1 in the P&B "Fans' Top 20 Favorite Players" poll for that year.

[9] Fisher was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to sport.
