Jennifer grew up playing team sports (volleyball, basketball, & softball) and studying ballet from a young age. After the birth of her first child she began endurance training in earnest. In 2006 her journey in the sport of triathlon began and she completed her first marathon in 2009. Jennifer completed Ironman WI 2015 as an Ironman Foundation athlete raising over $4,000 for Coaches vs Cancer WI. At present Jennifer enjoys training for road and trail races alike. She is an avid marathoner, repeat Boston Qualifier, and a Six Star Finisher having completed each of the World Marathon Majors: Chicago (2014), Boston (2016), New York (2017), Berlin (2018), London (2019) & Tokyo (2024). Up next: a trail marathon in South America. Hobbies outside of running include reading, concerts, travel, nature, and spending time connecting with family & friends.
