---As a model, Jennifer worked for such magazines as Seventeen, YM, Allure, Elle, Vogue Bambini, was on several covers including Sassy and Maxim, and did campaigns for California Tan, Pepe Jeans, Dannon, Baby Ruth and Ford. At nineteen she moved to New York to study acting and soon relocated to Los Angeles where she quickly became a successful working actor.
---Jen graduated from UCLA’s master class in memoir taught by PEN nominee Samantha Dunn, where she wrote her memoir, A MODEL LIFE. A MODEL LIFE is a young adult memoir about her transformation from dyslexic-chubby-outcast to professional model, and the four years she spent as a working teenage model traveling the globe alone. A MODEL LIFE holds the true-life insight into the hideously beautiful world of fashion; a world she just managed to survive. This edgy coming of age story is set in the early nineties when chaperones were rarely, if ever provided, and abuse, emotional and physical, was the norm.
---She is honored to have post-modern fairytale queen Francesca Lia Block as her ongoing mentor. And is currently working on a young adult novel, a magical realism story titled SEASPRAY. SEASPRAY is a tale about water, love, and immortality.
---Additionally, Jennifer is a guest columnist for The Stuart News. To read Jen's past and upcoming columns, please visit tcpalm.com and search Jennifer Sky Band.
