Jen Roxu

Jen Roxu is an undergraduate student and QuestBridge Scholar studying at The Johns Hopkins University's Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, double-majoring in Writing Seminars and Film & Media Studies with a minor in Theater Arts. She is an avid cinephile, zealous thespian, passionate poet, and aspiring playwright-screenwriter who seeks to use her words as a force for positive change. Jen's poems have previously been published in Columbia University Press, Up North Literary Magazine, Cathartic Youth Literary Magazine, The Weight Journal, and Teen Ink Magazine, and she hopes to author a full-length book someday. When she is not writing scripts and directing shows for JHU Witness Theater, acting in a Barnstormers production, or brainstorming ideas for the next chapter of her dystopian science fiction novel, you can find Jen taking long walks in nature parks, knitting scarves by the windowsill, dancing along to Taylor Swift music, and going out for boba with her best friends!
