Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.
Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.
Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.
She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.
During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

Lilo & Stitch's original directors post a heartbreaking tribute to Daveigh Chase.
Chase was a very talented and versatile actor. She was best known for her roles as Lilo in the hit Disney film, Lilo & Stitch, and Samara Morgan in the American remake of the Japanese horror movie, The Ring.
Chase sadly passed away this week at only 35 years old. The 2002 Disney movie's directors, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, posted a tribute on Instagram to the young actor. The picture showed Stitch sitting on a rock with a sandwich and a doll while wiping tears off his face. The beloved alien is also looking at a fish in the water.
