After writing her first full-length screenplay during Script Frenzy 2007[1], she ran into the OLL staff and asked what she could do to help them out.

Jennifer helped form some of Script Frenzy's current rules. During her first year as program director, the Script Frenzy team moved the event from June to April and changed the goal from 20,000 words to 100 pages to fit more closely to script standards and to be further away from the deadlines for some major scriptwriting competitions. The event's scope also expanded to include all scripts, not just screenplays and stage plays. All of these remain true to this day. She is also highly commended for raising the number of script frenzy participants by more than 13,500 during her time in office.

When she wasn't directing Script Frenzy, Jennifer was working on a feature film[2]. Her films have appeared in festivals all over the country, and she is a winner of the Directors Guild of America Student Film Award. She also directed and produced NaNoVideo in 2009.
