Jennifer Makenas Cheerleader

Jennifer is thrilled to finally be pursuing her dream…of being a cheerleader, duh!  She knew that a lifetime dedicated to perkiness and ditziness would one day pay off!  While Jennifer usually lends her voice to musical theater, most recently in Suessical at Civic Light Opera, she has never been opposed to a good hearty cheer!  When she is not acting or cheering, Jennifer enjoys snowboarding, dancing, running, developing cutting edge ponytail positions, and fluffing her pom-poms.  Jennifer would like to thank Artattack for this opportunity and her friends, family and sports bra for their support.
