Jennifer's early life unfolded in Brookfield, Massachusetts, a charming town that played a significant role in shaping her future. Growing up with a father who was an ER physician and a mother who worked as a paramedic and firefighter, Jennifer was exposed to the world of emergency medical services from a young age. This exposure had a profound impact on her, and she decided to pursue a career as an EMT as soon as she turned 18. For seven years, she worked on an ambulance throughout her college and graduate school, gaining valuable experience and a deeper understanding of the medical field.
Jennifer's academic achievements are equally impressive. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Westfield State University, where she was nominated three times for the prestigious Kennedy Center: ACTF Irene Ryan Best Actress award. Her exceptional talent and dedication to her craft did not go unnoticed, and she was recognized for her outstanding performances.
After completing her undergraduate degree, Jennifer went on to pursue a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Acting from Brandeis University. This rigorous program helped her hone her acting skills and prepare her for a successful career in the entertainment industry.
Upon relocating to New York City after graduating, Jennifer primarily focused on classical and experimental theatre. She worked tirelessly to hone her craft, taking on various roles and gaining valuable experience in the process. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she met one of the Duplass Brothers after a performance of a play she was in. This chance encounter led to her first film role, a small part in the critically acclaimed film Baghead. The experience sparked a shift in her career, and she began to include more film and television projects in her repertoire.
Today, Jennifer splits her time between Los Angeles and New York City, balancing her career in the entertainment industry with her personal life. Her unique blend of medical experience, academic achievements, and artistic talent has made her a versatile and sought-after actress in the industry.
