Working at a magazine that espouses healthy-way-of-life ideals is a logical fit for Jen, a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast. Hailing from the land of corn, she received her BA in professional editing from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). As part of her undergraduate experience, she copyedited and proofread stories at the North American Review. After graduating from UNI, she wrote and edited marketing materials for several years before accepting the position of associate editor at Experience Life in 2003. Since then, Jen has climbed the ranks at the magazine, assuming the role of senior editor in 2005.
Jen has played rugby since 1997 and represented the United States as a member of the women’s national team for a number of years. She has applied her editorial skills to the sport in several areas, serving as a member of the USA Rugby communications committee and writing game reports for her club team. She balances her high-intensity pursuits by practicing yoga, and is always up for trying something new; recently, Jen has given Russian kettlebells a try.
She currently resides in Philadelphia.
