A San Francisco Bay Area native, Jennifer graduated from Santa Clara University with a B.A. in Theatre Arts. Her Korean mother is a homemaker, and her English-Irish-German father, an attorney. Her love of performing began at 4 years old, with piano, ballet, and tap classes. By the time she was in third grade, she was writing, producing, directing, casting, and acting in her own plays "aka" skits to her teachers, and convinced some of them to allow her and her classmates to perform in front of the class during academic hours. Jennifer grew active in local children's theatre and community theatre, which led to her interest in classical voice along with her piano and dance training.It was in high school that Jennifer began to fall in love with independent cinema, Gummo and Kids being major influences on her newfound love for the medium. During college, she earned an acting internship at Marin Shakespeare Company, a regional Equity theatre. Jennifer also competed in pageants, and holds the title of Miss Asian America 2006-2007, and won Miss Talent 2006-2007 with her operatic vocal performance of Mozart's "Vedrai, carino" from Don Giovanni.For leisure, Jennifer enjoys reading, writing, and snowboarding. An avid hiker, Jennifer annually vacations to one of the nation's beautiful National Parks--her most beloved park of all is Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. She has visited nearly every national park and monument in the western United States. Show less «
