Jacobs appeared as Marta von Trapp in the Melbourne production of the 1999–2000 Australian stage revival tour of The Sound of Music, taking over from Rachel Marley who had played the role in the opening Sydney production.

In addition to The Saddle Club, Jacobs was featured in the television series Fergus McPhail, Worst Best Friends, and Holly's Heroes.

[2] Jacobs replaced Marisa Siketa on The Saddle Club after she left the show to star on Neighbours.

[6] Jacobs had planned to move in with older brother Adam and attend Victorian College of the Arts to study bass guitar and establish herself as a musician.

[12] The police took several hours to identify her because Jacobs, who was returning from an overnight stay with a friend, was carrying a fake ID.
