Born in Great Lakes, Illinois, Jolene was the only girl amongst four
brothers. Her father Morgan Finnell, was a Chief in the Navy and often
Jolene was moved around place to place. Her mother Alice, a full time
mom and a retail worker also performed as a model and theatre actor
whenever there was a local play. Jolene would always attend her
mother's rehearsals and performances, getting the feel for performance
art at a very young age.
Jolene delve deep into drama and theatre programs beginning in middle school, performing in plays and sketch comedy. She eventually enrolled in acting programs at the local college but lost interest due to the lack of quality offered. Coming from a hardworking middle-class family left little resources to pursue her dreams as she got older. Faced with the possibility of not getting her chance, Jolene traveled to New York City when she was only 16 with big hopes and 60 bucks in her purse. Finding New York City to be the perfect fit she never turned back.
Jolene spent the next 5 years modeling to gain capital and exposure often traveling back and forth between New York and Virginia, where her mother resided, to save money with the end all result landing her back in New York supporting herself full-time.
She continued to model but mainly in the fitness world while she actively studied the craft with different coaches learning the business as much as she could. Jolene landed roles in two stage productions "Romeo leaves Juliet" and "Improv 4 Charity". She later said that even though she enjoyed stage she really wanted to be a film actress and made the decision to expand her reach to LA to see what the film world had to offer her.
On holiday before she was set to head off to LA she went to stay with a close family friend in Atlanta to spend some time before she relocated. Jolene noticed a casting board for independent films and figured why not stay sharp while on vacation. She ended up booking a number of independent films and meeting other film industry people and decided to travel between Atlanta, New York and LA. She continues to star in film and has even began writing her own shorts and web series. She still models when she gets the itch to be glamorous.
