Bio
Jenny has been a Director of Culinary Production for over 5 years and working in the Culinary Production Department at Food Network for over a decade. She has worked on a large variety of television shows, both competition and “stand and stir” as well as digital projects. She especially loves working on the initial creative of a show to bring it to life as well as helping to develop new talent. Jenny grew up in NYC and spent her early career in the skateboarding industry as a merchandiser and designer. She was the Director of Creative Strategy for Banana Republic when she realized her true passion was food and left to enroll in culinary school.
Experience
Prior to becoming a culinary producer, Jenny worked as a prep cook at Abigail Kirsch. Her biggest regret in catering was telling her chef that she loved fabricating meat. Hundreds of pounds of partially frozen meat and many blisters later, she pivoted into food media. Jenny worked as a freelance food stylist for commercials, magazines, cookbooks, digital shoots and television before starting full time in the culinary production department at Food Network.
Education
Bachelor of Arts in History of Art from the University of Michigan; Culinary Arts and Business from the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE).
