Coach & Athlete

Jen is a long-time junior girls’ basketball coach and former university varsity player. She believes deeply in the power of sport to build confidence, resilience, and belonging; values she brings to both her coaching and her writing.

​

A dedicated athlete herself, Jen is a two-time provincial champion at the amateur triathlon level, a qualifier for two age-group world championships, and an NCCP Level One coach. Her competitive background gives her a unique understanding of the mental and emotional strength young athletes develop through movement, teamwork, and play.

​

Whether she’s on the basketball court, running a trail, or writing stories that champion girls, Jen is always guided by the same core belief: sport has the power to change lives.
