​Jami Cullen is an actress, print model, and voice-over artist, but has been acting, indirectly, for many, many years. As an inner-city mathematics teacher for 30 years, she used character voices and improvisation to turn multitudes of math-haters into enthusiastic, math-loving learners. In 2010, her younger daughter, Alexandra, convinced her to be a fellow background actor in the Jason Statham crime thriller, Parker, filming at the Ohio State Fair. The adrenaline rush of acting in front of the camera, as well as the entire film experience, left her thirsting for more.
Since that first movie, Jami has appeared in numerous shorts and feature-length films, has several films still in production, and has been signed for multiple future films. She has done acting work for the Columbus Police Department, the Ohio Supreme Court, and several U. S. Law firms. Her voice has been heard in radio commercials, audiobooks, and business videos throughout the country.
Currently, she is voicing several videos for the Ohio Bureau of Workman’s Compensation and is having a total blast as the voice of "Jen" in the ongoing (on Amazon Prime) animated series, Scratch and Sniff, from Jibber Jabber Studios. She has had training from J.W. Myers, Aaron Marcus, Steve Britain, John Sudol, and others.
