Jen Bosworth-Ramirez

I'm Jen, a Latina television writer/actor and consultant originally from Chicago, I now live in Los Angeles. I am the daughter of a fierce Colombian immigrant mom and a basketball player turned child psychologist father. In 1998, I graduated from The Theatre School at DePaul University and moved to Los Angeles. But instead of acting, I ended up spending my 20s working as the office manager for Nicolas Cage's production company, Saturn films. I also got my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. In 2006, I moved back to Chicago and became a therapist for gang members and members of organized crime upon their release from federal prison. It was challenging and rewarding work and I LOVED my clients, but when one of them threw a stapler at my head in 2013, I decided I wanted to WRITE about people like my clients rather than see them in therapy (cause nobody needs a stapler thrown at their head.) While I was working with these clients I began to write, and I haven't stopped. In 2020, I moved back to LA to become a full time television writer. I tell people....I ALWAYS start off with EVERY intention of writing comedy...but somebody always ends up in a wood chipper. So basically I write thriller/crime stories with dark comedic elements. I am committed to telling stories about complex people, especially women and people of color, who face seemingly insurmountable odds. I am obsessed with the ideas of resilience, forgiveness and redemption. My work in both Hollywood as well as in the prison system, highly informs my writing and I believe I have a clear and powerful voice that needs to be heard. I have LIVED a real life. I am a Latina badass and I am eager to get to work writing for television. In addition to writing for television I'm also a working SAG actor, I have appeared in numerous television shows and on stages across the country and I am repped by DDO Artists Agency. Vamos. Onward.
