Jennifer Breslow is Vice President of Drama Development at ABC Television network.  She works closely with producers, writers, directors and the cast to steer the creative direction of television shows.  Her daily responsibilities include overseeing the creative aspects of the network's top shows, "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice", as well as working extensively with writers on development projects for potential new shows.

Prior to joining ABC, Breslow served as Vice President of Drama Development at The CW, where she oversaw the creation of cult favorites "Gossip Girl" and "90210", as well as this season's breakout hit, "The Vampire Diaries" and the upcoming mid-season series "Life, Unexpected."  It was at Kevin Williamson's production company, Outerbanks Entertainment, that Breslow climbed the ranks of the executive ladder.

She began as an Executive Assistant and was then promoted to Creative Executive and then finally to Vice President.  Her career isn't limited to the small screen however, as she's also produced features, including Wes Craven's "Cursed" and Jim Gillespie's "Venom".  She began her career working as a production assistant on Michael Jacob's much-beloved show "Boy Meets World."

Her studies and eventual B.A. degree in Media Arts at the U of A pushed Breslow to follow her passion into the world of entertainment.
