Jen was born to move. From age 3, her vibrant energy graced the dance floor through the disciplines of ballet, jazz, and tap. After graduating from Clarkston High School, Jen attended Albion College to pursue a degree in Elementary Education and continue her dancing on the Albion College Dance Team.

In 2009, Jen took her first Zumba class and was instantly hooked. "Zumba became a place to embrace my crazy self, laugh extensively, exercise with freedom, and connect with inspiring people." Jen is able to bring her love of all genres of dance to her Dance Jams class, her experience as an elementary school teacher and energy to Zumba Kids and those wild hips to each Zumba class she teaches.

Jen is the mother of 2 children and wife to her supportive husband.
An accomplished dancer and choreographer, Jen is licensed to teach Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Toning, Zumba Sentao, and Zumba Kids."
