When Rulin was 12, she entered a model search contest at the urging of her mother and won representation by four different agencies.

Prior to acting full-time, she worked for a year as a certified nursing assistant and also at stores such as Victoria’s Secret; she was working at a Nordstrom’s when the first High School Musical came out.
