Early life

At age 13, she began her acting career by working as an amateur reporter for a local Bethesda UPN station. Her exposure led to some modelling jobs and a part in a re-enactment on America's Most Wanted.

In January 1999, Sisco landed the role of Abigail Williams on CBS's daytime drama As the World Turns. The character Abigail was the daughter of the characters Holden Snyder and Molly Conlan.
