Biographie
Jenna Marie McCombie was born on December 16, 1984, in Nicktown, PA. From an early age, she captivated her parents, friends, teachers, and anyone willing to watch. Much of her childhood was spent outdoors or in the gym practicing various sports, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Before joining her grade school basketball team, Jenna trained in softball during summers when basketball was out of season. At age 10, she joined her school's basketball program and quickly advanced to the varsity team after her pee wee season. She remained on the varsity team through 8th grade before moving on to high school, where she continued to train in both basketball and softball.
During her sophomore year of high school, after transferring schools, Jenna discovered acting. While training with the softball team, a classmate invited her to audition for the role of Francy Wilks, a southern belle, in the play "Melody Jones." This experience sparked her passion for acting. After transferring, she enrolled in a drama class and auditioned for the school play. Although the director wanted to cast her, Jenna had already committed to the volleyball team and was asked to choose between the two. Torn between her interests, she chose volleyball due to the season’s timing and her role on the starting team. However, she remained unsatisfied. Aware that injuries would likely end her sports career after senior year, Jenna’s focus shifted toward modeling and acting. She took classes in Pittsburgh and, along with a few peers, spent two summers in New York City gaining experience in print, editorial work, and runway modeling. Seeking greater challenges, she attended the Connections Competition in Orlando, Florida, where an acting coach encouraged her to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting training.
Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Jenna quickly began taking classes and workshops, which have helped shape her career. She has appeared in three feature films, over seventeen short films, and three music videos.
In her free time, Jenna enjoys dancing, working out, going to the movies, riding snowmobiles and quads, and playing tennis, basketball, volleyball, and softball. She also enjoys reading.
