She attended Wartburg College and earned a degree in biology, and then started focusing on volunteer work in 2006 with a trip to Ghana. Over the years Jen has made it a point to volunteer locally, nationally, and internationally. She has been involved in all different kinds of projects from building schools, houses, and hiking trails to cleaning up rivers, removing invasive plants, and even collecting data on endangered species. In 2010, Jen started mountain climbing. Since that time, she's climbed peaks all over the world including Mt. Everest in 2016. In 2021 Jen completed her dream of climbing the “7 Summits” becoming the first and only woman from Iowa to climb the highest peak on every continent.
