If it happens around the same time every day you might want to try taking her for a walk or some play time then - she may just have extra energy and exercise can definitely help. If she already gets plenty of exercise and the timing is random you should try working on a command like sit when she's jumping. To discourage biting remove any attention when the behavior occurs and give her an appropriate chew toy.
