Jen is a very busy Young Woman these days. Beside being a full time student at OIT she works at Klamath Eye clinic and of course is an instructor here. She is also a high school-level destination imagination coach and a leader of the college acrobatic group Team Fast.
Jen feels the most influential person in her life is her mother. "She taught me that there is nothing I can't do, no obstacle to big to overcome, and how to work to be the best person I can be."
She is amazing with the children. "I enjoy sharing important life lessons with the kids and teaching them what hard work and perserverance can do. I like that gymnastics is not only fun, but a way to learn great values that you can use in every aspect of life."
