About Jenna
Jenna Marie Miles is a self-proclaimed “city-country hybrid” – born and raised in California with a Colorado mindset. She can get down and gritty with the best of them but will never say no to an excellent mani-pedi.
​
Her love for performing began early when she danced at the San Diego County Fair. Soon after, she was cast in an annual Shakespeare festival which sparked her enduring obsession with The Bard. From there, Jenna pursued her passion for theatre throughout her school, eventually earning her B.A. in Acting and Directing from Colorado Mesa University. While there, she thrived in roles like 'Adriana' in The Comedy of Errors and found her comedic footing on the collegiate improv team.
​
After graduation, Jenna joined the Mesa Repertory Theatre as 'Jess' in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). When the production closed, she moved to Los Angeles and began booking immediately.
​
Within her first year in LA, Jenna earned her SAG eligibility in the web series Chinese Hotline, landed lead roles in two multi-award-winning short films, and starred in Kohl V. Bladen’s horror short The Face in the Window. Her performance was so well received that the production team brought her back to showcase her voice talents in Bladen’s radio drama ThrillerGram.
Jenna continued her theatrical studies at John Rosenfeld Studios, Lesly Kahn & Co, BGB Studio, Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop, and The Second City – Hollywood. She also studied stand-up with Lisa Sundstedt of Pretty, Funny Women, and her talent for comedy culminated in bookings at two iconic Los Angeles venues: Universal Bar & Grill and the world-renowned Flappers Comedy Club.
​
While acting sparks the most joy for Jenna, she can often be found devouring her newest Goodreads pick at her favorite coffee shop, portraying an elven wizard with her Dungeons & Dragons group, working out at her beloved yoga studio, or diving into her latest PlayStation 4 game.
​
More recently, Jenna starred in the USAFact Smart Hire commercial, and her feature film debut, Underdog, saw its nationwide DVD release. Shortly after, she headed to London to fulfill her dream of studying theatre in the UK, where she graduated from the London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art with her Masters in Classical Acting for Professional Theatre.​
