Jen (she/her) is passionate about climbing in all its forms and using her experience as a climber, a competitive athlete, a climbing instructor, and a certified strength and conditioning coach to help women achieve their goals in the outdoors.

Recently, she founded Face the Climb as a vehicle to provide mentorship for women and address a real need in the climbing industry for coaches with an educational background in research and exercise science. Jen currently serves on the Board of Directors at the Ragged Mountain Foundation where she founded a community stewardship program and works to protect access to Connecticut crags.

Jen is also the host of Face The Climb Podcast [listen now] where she discusses all things climbing including topics like training, motivation, nutrition, crag snacks, and whatever is on her mind to share.
