She has participated as a writer at the Muskoka Novel Marathon for the last 4 years and won in 2018 for best YA! She has read her stories to audiences at the Tall Pines Tales events throughout Muskoka. Besides her passion for writing, Jennifer is also a ninja-in-training, on track to earn her Black Belt in Shorinji Ryu-style Karate in 2019.
