Bishé was born in New Zealand. Shortly afterward, the family moved to Glen Ridge, New Jersey, in the United States. She graduated from Montclair Kimberley Academy, where her father, Kenneth Bishé, taught social studies. Bishé studied at Northwestern University.
Bishé toured professionally with Montana Shakespeare in the Parks during the summer of 2004, performing the role of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. She also appeared in a 2006 production of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape and in the Roundabout revival of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.
Bishé made her screen debut in 2007 when she portrayed Sarah Rosen in The Half Life of Mason Lake, a low-budget production. After appearances as an extra in the first film adaptation of Sex and the City and The Lucky Ones, and a small role in The Understudy (2008), Bishé was cast in Night Life, a television pilot directed by Scrubs star Zach Braff. The production did not make Bishé well-known, but did introduce her to Braff, with whom she later worked on Scrubs.
