"Jenn participated in the inaugural Rebelle Rally which served as her reintroduction into off-road driving after an almost 12 year hiatus. While she never lost the love of off-roading she found in high school, life took her in a different direction. Now, Jenn is actively back in the off-roading community and looking to grow. She is a full time mom to 2 kiddos, and is also a horse mom as she and her husband breed thoroughbreds. She enjoys horse racing and seeing the baby horses able to get up and run."
