Favorite Media
Jen's favorite Star Trek shows are Voyager and Strange New Worlds, but she has yet to meet a Star Trek she doesn't like at least a little bit. In addition to Star Trek, Jen enjoys the MCU, Star Wars, X-Men, Disney animation, a few of the DC projects, and she has a nostalgic soft spot for campy 90s sci-fi TV (seaQuest DSV, Sliders, etc.). As an avid cosplayer, her primary character is Captain Marvel.
Industry Focus
Jen grew up with the 90s trifecta of Star Trek series: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. She's seen every single episode and movie in the franchise (yes, even TAS), and frequently re-watches Star Trek series as her go-to comfort shows. Jen was a co-host of the Star Trek podcast Code 47.
She's thrilled that a new golden age of Trek currently exists, and cannot wait to see what the future brings.
