She also became an Emergency Medicine Technician and volunteered as such with an ambulance service. At age 18, Dr. Jenn started college in Hawaii at Chaminade University. There, she conducted independent investigations as an Intern with what is now I.C.E., interned with the United States Marshall's Service, ran cross country, and learned how to surf. After two years, Dr. Jenn returned to Boulder, Colorado where she ultimately finished college at the University of Colorado - Boulder with a degree in Psychology at age 26. During those years Dr. Jenn completed the Colorado State Police Academy and worked for 2.5 years as a police officer.

Dr. Jenn has teamed up with American Stories Entertainment as an executive producer of military and law enforcement themed content, and has two projects in pre-production. She will co-star in one, called LifeLine! where people are subjected to real crime scenarios, the action will stop as things go inevitably "South," the hosts swoop in, rewind the action, provide training, and let the guests try again and see how they do. Another, Blue Valor, reenacts events leading to our first responders receiving the medal of valor. Finally, Dr. Jenn's childhood dream of writing and staring in a feature film is well on the way to fruition, as this survival/thriller is in pre-production. Her dream is to be an action hero...not just in real life!
