Jen has been a contributor to How Was The Show since 2003, and has served as the Calendar Editor and as an advisor on the editorial team.
Her favorite song is "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin, and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves has been known to make her feel slightly homicidal. She also spends an excessive amount of time making lists of clever mix tape ideas and is terrible at writing personal bios.
