She was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved to Canada to attend the University of Toronto and earned a BSc in Criminology and Psychology. Over the last twenty years, she’s honed her craft and worked with renowned actors and directors in our industry, like Jodie Foster, Kiefer Sutherland, and Simu Liu.

Her dedication has made her one of the most versatile actors in the country. All her hard work has culminated in a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performer in 2023.

When she’s not working in films and on TV shows, she’s giving back to her community by teaching young up-and-comers her craft. On her days off, you’ll find her walking her dog, Schumi, through High Park with a matcha green tea in her hand. Jenny’s an incredible woman and life partner and I’m proud to be her husband.
