Jennifer Pena

Jennifer Pena is an upcoming American-Mexican model, dancer and actress living in NYC. Even though she was born in Los Angeles, she spent the first 8 years of her life in Mexico, where Spanish became her first language. Being the middle child of three sisters, it was always clear she was the odd one. Apart from being great at math, she always had a passion for art, strutting in heels around the house, and being in front of a camera or audience. Without much guidance, emotional and financial support from her parents, she went on to a public college with a full ride scholarship. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a BA in Art History and Anthropology. After college, she worked at a corporate office before discovering the world of salsa dancing where she quickly started training, joined a team and went on to compete at the World Salsa Summit. Her passions were fueled by dance and with motivation from her friends, she went on to pursue modeling and acting opportunities. By 2021, Covid had pushed people out of big cities, so she took the chance and moved from Atlanta to NYC, the city of her dreams, to train and pursue acting, dance and modeling.
