Jennifer became Deputy Director of the New Mexico Film Office in 2006 where she devoted her time recruiting and servicing productions, marketing New Mexico, its communities and resources, coordinating scouts throughout the state, managing the tax credit and loan programs, and assisting producers, studios and networks throughout production and the incentive process.
She went back to her love of casting and joined the Midthunder Casting team in 2013 where she worked on dozens of feature films, television productions, local and national commercials.
She opened "Casting by Jen" in 2019.
