Much like her character Dom, Jean worked hard during high school, even to the point of overloading herself with too many commitments and extra work to make some money, from doing hair to selling brownies. "I had to learn the hard way that I was taking on too many things and had my schedule overpacked," she told Refinery29. "But at the same time, I wanted to do everything because it's an opportunity. I'm still learning that. I'm still learning how to break out of that."
