Jenny O'Connell

Professionalism
Total commitment to your vision
Honesty
Flexibility
and Creativity.

As a performer, I am quick on my feet and am unafraid to dive into concepts and situations. I explore, play and engage and push artistic boundaries while maintaining professional ones. Straight forward communication, courtesy and kindness are qualities that I value personally and professionally and if hired I will bring those qualities on set.

I am fully vaccinated and boosted, I do not work with people who do not follow covid safety precautions. I test myself regularly and also wear masks in high risk transmission areas. I am comfortable being maskless, but only if proper safety precautions are followed such as testing, masking, social distancing, being vaccinated and boosted, and having proper ventilation if indoors/having proper protocol when it comes to audiences and crew members.
