Jen Gardiner

Jen Gardiner, born on March 13, 1984, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, was raised in Wellesley, Ontario, where she nurtured a passion for the arts alongside aspirations of becoming a physician. Throughout her childhood, she actively participated in sports—especially soccer—and showcased her talent in school musicals like 'Oliver Twist' and 'The Wizard of Oz.' Her high school years were filled with academic pursuits aimed at medicine, yet her artistic inclinations flourished as she engaged with the school band, choir, and drama club, while also serving as the yearbook photographer.

At the age of 20, a chance encounter at a Michael's craft store ignited Jen's entrepreneurial spirit when she began taking cake-decorating classes. Her cakes quickly gained popularity, leading her to establish two thriving businesses over the next 15 years: one focused on online marketing strategies drawn from her cake enterprise, and another dedicated to custom cakes.

In 2018, Jen returned to her artistic roots by enrolling in acting classes, leading to her notable role as Modwenna in 'Martyrs - The Chronicles of The Blood.' By January 2019, she secured her first lead role as the skilled spy Isabella Watkins in the upcoming series 'I, Terrorist.' With a commitment to continuous learning, Jen combines her diverse talents in acting and entrepreneurship, and you can follow her journey and future projects on IMDb: IMDb.me/jengardiner.
