Hi, I’m Jen,
I am an Actor/Writer/Producer (all the hats). I love storytelling in front of the camera, behind the camera, on stage, and in life.
I am deeply committed to empowering and uplifting women, as it is the driving force behind everything I do. Working on female driven stories and content is my passion.
Women are amazing and when we work together and support each other we become unstoppable!
I am obsessed with personal growth and always seeking to expand my knowledge and understanding of the world.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope we can collaborate on something meaningful together.
Love & Gratitude,
Jen

RESUME
REEL
“Dede gives a fantastic, multilayered performance as the repressed and oppressed Edith, all smiles and brightly artificial chatter, as skittish as a tiny bird. Her monologue when Edith realizes what is going on is a tour de force: the acting equivalent of a star exploding into a supernova.” – Variety
