As a child, Trachtenberg got her start in Hollywood when she was three years old in commercials and her television debut was in the Nickelodeon series "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" in 1994.
At 10 years of age, she landed her first title role in the 1996 movie "Harriet the Spy."
She had roles in several Nickelodeon productions leading up to her being cast in the cult classic "EuroTrip" in 2004 when she was in her early twenties.
Then came the roles that she is best known for, including the character Dawn Summers in the WB supernatural drama "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in 2000 and as Georgina Sparks on the CW television series "Gossip Girl" in 2007.
Some of her other roles include television films "Killing Kennedy," "Sister Cities," and the science fiction film "The Scribbler".
