About

I am very passionate about snowboarding! I have been instructing for 10 years at mountains including Wachusett, Vail and Eldora Mountains in Colorado and even some end of the season work at Sunday River, Maine. Wachusett is my home mountain! I am currently the Snowboard Technical Director there- ensuring that our amazing snowboard staff is knowledgeable and well trained. 
In my free time I am a veterinarian and other hobbies include hiking and traveling!

Jen is an amazing teacher! Yesterday I had my second snowboarding lesson (my first one with Jen) and I experienced a real breakthrough in my ability to turn and ride with confidence. When you start out snowboarding, it can be scary as you begin to pick up speed going down the mountain. But in just a little over an hour with Jen, she helped me get to a place where I'm able to turn and stop more gracefully and without the panic and uneasiness that I used to experience. Now I'm even more excited to get out and hit the slopes again. Thanks Jen!
