After college, Jennifer trained in many different areas during her time at the Arizona Actors Academy, which operated much like a New York City conservatory. She was a part of many local films and commercials and starred in a Discovery ID tv show. After making her move to Los Angeles in 2015, she wrote and produced her first short, Driving Miss Crazy, in which she played one of the lead roles as well.
