Years later, appearing in her first Broadway show, FOOTLOOSE, Jenn discovered her dance partner was the boy who played Tom! Jenn attended NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, graduating summa cum laude with a B.F.A and a double-major in Drama and Sociology. Jenn was one of four students in her class designated as an 'Artist & Scholar'. While at NYU, she had the privilege of studying Sanford Meisner's acting technique under his student, Lauri Peters. She was also fortunate in college to be cast as Sonya in NYU's main stage production of UNCLE VANYA and as Dot in a studio production of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE. After graduation, Jenn's first professional job was playing Anne Frank, touring the country performing primarily for young audiences in American Family Theater's ANNE FRANK, A VOICE HEARD. She then toured both Europe and North Amerca as the shy drama student Serena Katz in FAME, earning a National Broadway Theater Award nomination for the Best Actress in a Musical and recording her first original cast 'album'. She has appeared in numerous developmental project in New York City, most notably playing Amy March in the pre-Broadway production of LITTLE WOMEN, Juliet, and Marthe in the York Theater's presentation of the Richard Rodgers Development Aware recipent, DEVIL IN THE FLESH
