My name is Jenna Leigh Miller and I am a New York City based actress. I hold a BFA in Musical Theatre from Otterbein University. I first came across Musical Theatre on a Brownies trip to NYC, where we saw Beauty & the Beast, ever since then I was hooked! I started singing at the young age of 3 years old, at church. I truly was singing before I was talking. I lived out my Fame the Original Movie dreams by attending the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts as a Vocal Major. I am also the creator of Problem Solved, Theatre & Brand Coaching for all artists. In my free time I enjoy cooking, games nights, Gilmore Girls, and reading as many quote books as I can.
