Hi, I’m Jen,
I’m an actress, writer, producer, coach, teacher, mentor, champion of women, wife, fertility warrior, and most recently, a Mom, FINALLY. It’s been a journey. 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. When we work together and support each other we are truly unstoppable! I am constantly learning and passionate about personal growth, always seeking to expand my knowledge and understanding of the world.
I am so happy you are here, and I hope we can collaborate on something meaningful together.
Love & Gratitude,
Jen

“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
