She also starred as the cook's daughter, Elena Ramos, in the primtime soap opera Dallas, from 2012-2014.

Brewster was also seen on the small screen as Dr. Jill Roberts on the NBC series Chuck.

Some of Brewster's past credits include the lead role in the 2007 ABC pilot Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the star of Justin Lin's Annapolis opposite James Franco and Nearing Grace, an indie film adapted from Scott Sommer's novel Nearing's Grace, which premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in July 2005.

Brewster also starred in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel in 2006, directed by Jonathan Liebesman for New Line and was seen in the Sundance hit D.E.B.S., based on Angela Robinson's comedy short, which was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films in March 2005.

Brewster sharpened her acting skills on the daytime drama As the World Turns, where she divided her time between high school and her role as Nikki Munson on the Emmy Award-winning series.
