Jenna has an extensive background in comedy and is a proud alumnus of The Second City Conservatory in Chicago. She has showcased for the Just For Laughs New Faces of Comedy for her scrappy original characters and was asked to join the infamous Groundlings Theater Sunday Company cast.

Off stage, Jenna has worked in television production, starting as an office PA and climbing to support staff as a showrunner and writer’s assistant for shows such as Star Trek Discovery. Jenna’s writing consists of half-hour comedies and sitcoms that always include a messy, “difficult” female struggling to evolve. She focuses on the cocoon phase, believing that comedy is most successful when intertwined with tragedy.
