Jena has written, directed, produced, performed, choreographed stage, sketch, film, improv, stand up, spoken word, and storytelling, dance, and combat. She’s an actor combatant at the MN Renaissance Festival, and has been known to belly dance and breath fire. In her spare time, she does publicity, design, and web programming.
