Their love for theater blossomed out of a 14-year, childhood dance career and small, but impactful theatrical performance history. As a multidisciplinary artist, Jen maintains that Lighting Design is the ideal career to utilize both her creative and problem-solving brains.Diversified collaboration is central to Jen's values as a theater maker. Working with people of underrepresented identities including the BIPOC, AAPI, and especially the LGBTQIA+ communities, is essential to their process and ambitions to continue the work of decentralizing the historically white, cis-male dominated perspective in the technical theater industry. She believes higher educational institutions can provide students from all backgrounds with hands-on skills that can empower them to establish financial and job security in our tumultuous and unpredictable artistic economy.
