Jacobs, a Pennsylvania native, was born in Pittsburgh in 1982. From a young age Jacobs was interested in acting and began taking classes at the Pittsburgh Playhouse. When it came time for college Jacobs made the decision to attend Juilliard, a prestigious art school located in New York. 

Jacobs’ acting debut came in 2005 when she appeared as Katie in Building Girl. This would be the first of her many roles. The following year Jacobs was cast as Adele Congreve in The Book of Daniel. The actress spent the late 2000s working on a variety of television sets and films until she finally landed her big break in 2010.
