Jodi J is a Writer, Actor & proud ACTRA member.
She has graced the TV screen in Television Shows such as Paranormal Witness, Fear Thy Neighbor, Forensic Factor, Saving Hope, Extreme Babysitting and more. She can be seen & heard in numerous National Television & Radio Commercials including McDonald's, ONA, Kellogg's, Subaru, Knorr & Wonderbread; just to name a few.
​
All while simultaneously maintaining her career as a Critical Care Nurse.
​
It was when she was cast in a Medical Drama Series that she caught a glimpse of an alternate path. This happenstance of her two careers colliding gifted her with an unforeseen light bulb moment. And it was in that moment that she decided to take the road less travelled. It was in that moment that her professional writing journey began.

A recent Dean’s List Graduate of George Brown College's Post-Graduate Screenwriting & Narrative Design Program, emerging screenwriter Jodi J has found her niche.
