Jennie Snyder Urman (born June 6, 1975) is an American television producer. She grew up in Rye, New York. Urman has been involved in the production of several television programs including: Hope & Faith, Gilmore Girls, Men in Trees, Lipstick Jungle, 90210, Emily Owens, M.D., Reign, Jane the Virgin, and Charmed. Urman worked initially as a waitress in New York City while she looked for acting opportunities. Eventually she gave up her acting ambition, saying she was not "thick-skinned enough or perhaps talented enough or wanted it enough as a career"  to be on screen. Profiling Urman for Variety, Bob Verini stated, that Urman "like many tyros, initially found it hard to stop defining herself by her day job"; she was told "to stop waitressing. This is a job." On September 10, 2001, Urman and her friend, Victoria Webster, left New York City for Los Angeles to pursue a career writing for television. Urman got her start in television writing in 2003, working as a staff writer on the ABC comedy Hope & Faith. She worked with the show for three years, first as a writer, then as a story editor, and finally, the executive story editor.  In an interview with the Alumni of Princeton, Urman explained, "ladder you climb when you're a TV writer. You start as a staff writer and go through each level until you become an executive producer."
