Vall Montero first attracted international attention at the 2013 Mediterranean Games in Mersin, Turkey , when she won the 200m breaststroke. She also won silver in the 100-meter distance and with the Spanish 4 × 100-meter relay.
At the European Swimming Championships in Berlin in 2014 , she won bronze in the long chest distance in 2: 24.08 min, behind Danish rider Rikke Møller Pedersen (2: 19.84) and Briton Molly Renshaw (2: 23.28). .
To her own surprise, she achieved bronze in the same discipline at the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Kazan, Russia, in 2: 22.76 min to a hundredth of a second at the same time as Rikke Møller Pedersen and the Chinese Shi Jinglin - the Japanese Kanako Watanabe won gold (2:21 , 15) ahead of the American Micah Lawrence (2: 22.44). Vall was in eighth and last place after the first three 50-meter sections (32.93, 36.66, 37.60 s), but covered the last lane in 35.57 s and came that way to a new Spanish record. When she saw herself in the back alone at the last turning point, she had said to herself: “But you're far back ... Now give it your all on the last 50.” Jessica Vall dedicated the medal to her husband, who had recently suffered a serious illness was being treated by the father of teammate Ona Carbonell's .
