 She
went on to appear in commercials for Nintendo and J.C. Penny, and a reoccurring
role in Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mac , including the

hit show Beverly

She
landed a role in 1999's Never Been Kissed and not long after auditioned
for the show Dark Angel. She went on to win the TV Guide's 2001 Breakout

Jessica
graduated highschool at the age of 16. She said, "If your happy that's
all that matters, She never really clicked with people in school,
she never really fit in with the preppy girls and she stayed away from
the hardcore drug addicts, and she's not the latina mexican chola girl."
