In 2004 she had her first acting project, in the independent film “Subway Café”, appearing alongside Crystal Allen and Rick Gonzales. The film gained positive reviews which opened more opportunities for her, and the following year she was hired by the television network Current TV as a producer, field reporter, and host. The network ran from 2005 to 2013 and started as a user-generated channel before it became an independent news network, before being bought by the Al Jazeera Media Network.
With the sale, all of its off-air staff were retained to create Al Jazeera America, but Jael was moved on to other projects.
