Jen Zhao

SCREENWRITER

SECOND YEAR - LOS ANGELES

Born and raised in Canada, Jen studied and worked in finance, until a quarter-life crisis led her to UCLA to pursue an MFA in Screenwriting. While at school, Jen also studied animation, cinematography, directing, and acting, becoming the first non-acting major to complete the entire Voice and Speech curriculum alongside the MFA actors. 

After graduation, Jen worked with The Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance (REMAP) on an experimental immersive theater and augmented reality experience and is now recording audiobooks and creating shorts of her own.
