During the episode, Spencer disclosed to Jenn that he makes a living as a pet portrait entrepreneur. He explained that his job involves capturing photos of people's pets and transforming them into unique pieces of artwork.

'The Bachelorette' Season 21: What does Jenn Tran do for a living?
For those who may not be familiar, allow us to introduce Jenn Tran, a 26-year-old physician assistant residing in Boston, Massachusetts. During the previous season of 'The Bachelor', she found herself falling head over heels for Joey Graziadei, only to be ultimately sent home as he chose Kelsey Anderson as his partner.
Family holds a special place in Jenn's heart, with her mother being her ultimate role model after immigrating to the US from Vietnam. Her mother has expressed her wish for Jenn to find a loving partner who cherishes her.
Before embarking on her journey as the lead of 'The Bachelorette', Jenn gathered with friends in Boston to prepare for the experience. She discussed the significance of being the first Asian-American lead and acknowledged feeling the weight of that responsibility. "It's been hard to accept myself as The Bachelorette because I don't see myself in that light, but I just feel so grateful," she said in a confessional.
