Before she was an actress, she was a proffesional model who appeared on store ads, magazine covers, posters, and other things.

She filmed a pilot for a TV series on Disney Channel with her sister called Haversham Hall, but it was unfortunately not picked up possibly because of her busy schedule performing as Aly & AJ.
