Jennifer was 11 when she had her first taste of acting having joined the ‘Rudolf Steiner’ School’s drama club. It was also at the ‘Rudolf Steiner’ School that she developed her passion for art. She began her professional training as a drama student at New York’s High School of the Performing Arts.

Then, in 1994, a pilot called “Friends Like These” came along.
