When she was 6, Jow appeared on Barney and Dellaventura, but her acting career took off when she landed the role of Geena Fabiano in the Nickelodeon television series Unfabulous alongside Emma Roberts.

In 2008 she guest starred on The Young and the Restless as Hannah, and in 2009 she portrayed “Look-alike Carly” on iCarly, another series on Nickelodeon. That same year she acted in The Secret Life of the American Teenager as Gail and Disney show Hannah Montana as Rachel. She also made a cameo in the 2009 movie Aliens in the Attic.

In 2010, Jow appeared in the first season of The Vampire Diaries (The CW). She played the part of Anna, a 500+ year-old vampire who initially seems to have evil intentions, but is ultimately revealed to simply want to set her mother free. She tries to use Jeremy Gilbert(Steven R. McQueen) in order to get the opportunity to approach the Salvatore brothers (Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley) and Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), but ends up falling for him. In the season finale, she tells Jeremy that she plans to leave, and gives him a vial of her blood so that he can become a vampire and join her. The first season ends with Anna attempting to protect Jeremy and the citizens of Mystic Falls from an imminent vampire attack when she is captured and killed by Jeremy’s uncle, John (David Anders).

In 2012, she is slated to play Morgan in The CW’s Shelter pilot episode. Morgan is a wild and promiscuous girl, so it promises to be a more adult role for Jow than her past roles portraying teenagers. Shelter was shot in North Carolina and is produced by J.J. Abrams and Mark Schwahn.

In 2015, Jow was cast as Linda Park, a recurring character in the first season of The Flash who had a short-lived relationship with the title character, Barry Allen.
