As an actor, educator, coach, and advocate, Jen has built her career on an empathetic, personalized approach. Across all of these industries, Jen promotes an emphasis on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), informed by her personal life and her years of working with actors from a wide variety of backgrounds. Jen embodies these beliefs in how she personalizes her coaching practice to the needs, goals, and abilities of her clients, and how she selects roles to audition for and accept. Notable acting highlights include the 2023 "Brighter Boston" Super Bowl campaign from Sam Adams, the film “American Foulbrood,” which won at the Rameshwaram Film Festival in India, and “Pocket Bonds,” a short film where Jen stars alongside Elias Kacavas from Max’s “Pretty Little Liars: Summer School” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3.”

Whether performing or nurturing actors of all ages, Jen’s practice reflects the belief that connection is at the heart of great performances. Jen approaches all of her work with the knowledge that our experiences and relationships make us who we are, and structures her coaching and teaching practices around this idea. Jen’s own experience as the mother of a daughter with a physical disability has informed her extensive advocacy work, including partnerships with Mix 104.1 and Boston Children’s Hospital.

Jen holds a BFA in Theatre Performance (Emphasis in Acting for the Camera) from Chapman University and is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA. Jen has built a life of service out of her passions for acting and educating, and she lives every day with the simple goal of bringing joy and warmth to as many lives as possible.
