Hi, I'm Jenna!

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being two things: an actress and a teacher. In high school, I discovered a love for languages and thought, Why not do it all?  So I triple-majored in Theatre, Spanish, and Secondary Education at Central College in Iowa. Since then, I’ve followed a multipassionate path - teaching high school Spanish for ten years, working summers as a Spanish medical interpreter, but always returning to my first love: acting.

​

Now a full-time actor, I am guided by my strong background in theatre. I went through Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s Emerging Professional Residency program and have performed at most of Milwaukee’s professional theaters, most recently in Laughs in Spanish at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and Noises Off at Skylight Music Theatre. 

However, I have worked primarily as an on-camera and voice actor in recent years, collaborating with a variety of regional, national, and international clients in my commercial and VO work, including Burlington, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Bertolli, Kohl’s, and the Wisconsin Lottery. 

Recently, I've started to move more into TV and film. Since fall 2024, I've booked recurring roles (if picked up) in two pilots (Southside and The Party Princess), starred in two short films (Soccer Mommies, alongside Amy Stricker, and Specter, alongside Nadjah Hasan), and booked my first network TV role: a co-star on Chicago PD, where I appeared in a scene with Patrick John Flueger!

​​

One of my unique abilities is my facility with other languages. English is my native language, I am fluent in Spanish and Italian, and am quickly becoming proficient in ASL. I also speak Portuguese and French at an intermediate level, and have dabbled in German and Modern Greek! I have an excellent ear for dialects and am very musical: I sing and play the piano, flute, and ukulele.

​

In my free time, I can be found doing yoga, cooking yummy vegetarian food, and spending time with my husband, two crazy cats, and my hamster Phyllis! 

​

I love bringing a balance of humor and heart to the stage, screen, and airwaves, and I hope to bring a smile to your face one day soon.
