Jennifer Dornbush, Forensics  expert and screenplay writer, grew up with a forensics background. Her father, a mortician, told her that dead men do, indeed, tell tales. She took this to heart, and kept up the study of death, but developed a great sense of perspective, and with it, sense of humor.  She is a delightful speaker and gifted teacher. Jennifer plans to teach a March 3rd screenwriting class, as well, something she's been doing for Hollywood for years.
