Jean is interested in a full-time career in modeling. Her Italian, Irish, Polish, and Greek heritage give her a unique look.
Okay, I did a little more than correct your grammar. You can't "break into" what you're already in, and you said she was a model. Things can be "very unusual" or "unique", but not "very unique" (although you see it a lot) because "unique" means there's only -one-. And if you're writing in the third person ("she"), you shouldn't suddenly break into first person ("I").

Just two small changes and it reads clearly, grammatically and well.

The one most important change is in your person.
You start by talking about Jean. Then you say "I can sing as well as act" instead of "she can sing..." and "making it my full-time career" instead of "making it her full time career" since you talk about it as if it is some one else.
If you are Jean, you could replace the "Jean"s making it personal, as in the following:
"I am Jean. I am a 20 year old model and a fire fighter.... I am also a full time student and can sing and act...."

This example switches between first-person and third-person several times. It also is a bit wordy. The overuse of the word 'and' is a minor problem, as is the overuse of the person's name (which is acceptable in a performance review).
One could also consolidate a few of the sentences to make the reading of the paragraph more pleasant.
