Del Ray’s Jen Walker Spreads Kindness and Builds Community

Behind the Curtain: Jen Walker
By Mary Wadland
Spread Kindness. Build Community. Those are the key mission statements Del Ray super realtor and resident Jen Walker puts on her signs, her advertising and wears on her sleeve. Literally, she has it on t-shirts. But most important, she has it imprinted on her heart.
Since becoming a realtor in 1999, Jen Walker has put her money in with her elbow grease. She volunteers for everything and has served on countless boards and committees, but when push comes to shove, and real dollars are needed, Walker comes through every time.
Before anything, Jen is a volunteer. And she doesn’t really want spotlights or attention, but the community can’t help it. The community is grateful.
Most people don’t remember when Jen started Cinema Del Ray. They only know they have been going to outdoor movies in Del Ray since they were kids, and that’s thanks to Jen Walker. When you run in the Turkey Trot, or go to the Halloween Parade or attend Art on the Avenue, or the Well Ray Crawl, or hit The Avenue for a Thursday night block party, look around. Jen Walker is there. Not only is she manning a booth or selling tickets or cheering or participating, she’s sponsoring too.
