Huggard was born August 26, 1990, in Bristol, Tennessee.

Huggard began performing in drag at the nightclub New Beginnings in Johnson City, Tennessee. She adopted the stage name "Eureka" because of its phonetic similarity to her mother's given name, Ulrike, and chose the surname "O'Hara" after the character Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind. Eureka's drag mother is Jacqueline St. James, a former winner of the Miss Gay USofA at Large competition. Before appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race, Eureka competed in the drag pageantry circuit and won the anti-bullying pageant title Miss Don't H8 DIVA. She was later inducted into the organization's Hall of Fame. While studying at East Tennessee State University, Huggard left the university to compete on the ninth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Eureka has competed on the ninth and tenth seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race and on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. She also competed on the RuPaul's Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular. On February 2, 2017, it was announced that Eureka was selected alongside thirteen other contestants to compete on season nine of RuPaul's Drag Race. She was removed from the competition in episode five due to a torn ACL from the episode two challenge, making her the first contestant in the history of RuPaul's Drag Race to leave due to an injury. She received physical therapy before returning to compete on the show's tenth season in 2018. During this season, Eureka won two main challenges (in episodes five and six) and also had to lip sync for her life twice. Eureka ultimately finished as a runner-up of season 10, alongside Kameron Michaels and behind eventual winner Aquaria. After competing on season 10, Eureka continued to work prominently as a drag queen in the entertainment industry. She starred in the music video for country singer Brandon Stansell's song "For You", released in July 2018. In September 2018, she gave a drag makeover to Zachary Quinto for Them's makeover series Drag Me. In December 2018, Eureka competed in the television special RuPaul's Drag Race Holi-slay Spectacular. In 2019, she appeared as a guest for the first challenge in the premiere of season 11 of Drag Race. In June 2021, Eureka was revealed to be one of the thirteen cast members of the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. After failing to win any main challenges but remaining safe throughout the season, Eureka was voted out by her competitors at the top five, but subsequently won re-entry into the competition after winning a lip sync battle against Silky Nutmeg Ganache. Upon returning to the competition, Eureka won the next main challenge (episode 11) and a $25,000 cash prize. In the season finale, Eureka once again placed as a runner-up alongside Ginger Minj and Ra'Jah O'Hara, losing out to eventual winner, Kylie Sonique Love.

Since 2020, Eureka has co-hosted We're Here on HBO alongside fellow Drag Race contestants Bob the Drag Queen and Shangela. In the series, the trio of drag queens travel across the United States to recruit small-town residents to participate in one-night-only drag shows. After premiering on April 23, 2020, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on October 11, 2021. In December 2021, the series was renewed for a third season. The series has received acclaim from critics.

As part of the final challenge of season 10 of RuPaul's Drag Race, O'Hara and the other top four contestants wrote and recorded their own verses for RuPaul's song "American". The song reached number 12 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Eureka lived as a trans woman for about five years before deciding to detransition. She then identified as "genderfluid and gender-neutral" and used they/them pronouns out of drag. On the season 3 finale of We're Here, Eureka came out as a trans woman, using exclusively she/her pronouns and beginning to both socially and medically transition. Eureka supports body positivity and has nicknamed herself "The Elephant Queen". She cites Divine as an influence to her drag aesthetic.
