The scaredy cat with a master's in fear
Jen started out scared. Then she trained her courage like a muscle.
She was the little girl who burst into tears learning to ride a bike. Decades later she's been chased by a polar bear, read avalanche terrain for a living, and taught herself to feel at home at minus twenty. That range is her credential.

Where it started
The scaredy cat.
An Aussie kid who cried on her first bike ride and ran from anything new.
-
20+ years
The Alaska years.
20+ years guiding backcountry terrain, from blue ice caves to northern lights, with polar bears and avalanches in the forecast.
-
2 surgeries
The comeback.
Two spinal surgeries. A surgeon who said she'd undone his work. A second surgeon who promised to get her back on the water, and did.

Australian Women's Kitesurfing Champion, now riding in a helmet and still on the same side of crazy.
