Narrative:
Jenn grew up running and riding bikes through the Simcoe County forests. Even now, as an athlete having represented Canada in multiple World Championship events, Jenn still enjoys the same trails.
During high school, Jenn won a full set of OFSAA medals in Nordic Skiing, was a three-time OFSAA finalist on the track and competed at four cross country running, one swim and one basketball OFSAA's.
After graduating from Eastview in 2013, Jenn moved to Thunder Bay where she spent the next four years at Lakehead University, studying Mechanical Engineering, and skiing with the National Team Development Centre.
In 2017, Jenn transitioned from skiing to mountain biking, moving back near her hometown of Midhurst to take advantage of the local roads, trials, and to have friends and family close by.
