Jenni Powell is a former production assistant for lonelygirl15. In it, she also portrayed the character of Jenni. She executively produced and directed the controversial LG15: The Misfits pilot. Jenni also writes, produces, directs, and portrays Anne in a spin-off of lonelygirl15, LonelyJew15. She also co-wrote for Redearth88 and has worked on several web series including The Guild, The Legend of Neil, With The Angels, Poor Paul and The Crew.

Jenni is a long-time member of the online community. She approached Glenn Rubenstein in the fall of 2006 (before OpAphid became the official ARG of lonelygirl15) to ask if he needed any help production-wise. He saw her background in comedy and realized she may be a good fit to help produce an off-shoot of OpAphid that he had been writing called The Hamster Project. The story asked the question "What if a secret society hired a publicist to improve their image?"

Jenni shot episode one based off a script Glenn sent her, and he was impressed. They rewrote episodes one and two together, and Jenni produced, directed, and shot them. Before they had a chance to go further, however, Glenn was brought aboard LG15 to make OpAphid the official ARG, so the Hamster Project had to take a back-seat.

The two lost touch as Glenn became busy with LG15, and didn't get back in contact until around the time Marla showed up in Nacogdoches for the first time. Jenni jokingly sent him an e-mail saying that she didn't want Marla to have all of the in-game fun. However, she didn't expect a response.

Much to her surprise, Glenn responded and asked her to call him because he actually had her in mind for something he was working on. At that point, he asked her to start collaborating him on the Rachel vlogs as a co-writer. They started working together with the video Opportunity Crisis!.
