Jenna's life has always had a soundtrack. The daughter of successful professional opera singers, Jenna was rocked to sleep at night with Romanian lullabies while her waking hours were filled with the sounds of beautiful voices. Jenna's dad is one of New York City's top voice teachers, so their home was always throbbing with the sounds of voices from the stages of Broadway and the world's leading opera houses. Singing and acting seemed as natural to Jenna as breathing, both vital and necessary. A love for the theater found its roots with her first performances at age 5 and continued without interruption through her teen years. After graduating high school at age 16, Jenna set off for the Big Apple to further her studies and pursue career ambitions. She has studied acting at the renowned Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Film and TV technique at The Barrow Group, dance at Broadway Dance Center and voice with her father, Scott Flaherty.

With career interests encompassing Film/TV, theater and commercial projects, Jenna has enjoyed a wonderful array of professional collaborations and experiences in her nascent career.
