Jenn
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Jenn has been involved in athletics for over 15 years. She is an accomplished athlete having served as captain of multiple teams in multiple sports. At the collegiate level, Jenn was a two-sport recruited athlete who ultimately focused on lacrosse and played on the 2011 NCAA National Championship winning team. She was a goalie, which is one of the most technical, high-pressure positions on the field. It requires impeccable form, focus, and a positive mental state, which Jenn translates into her Pilates practice today.
After college, Jenn’s involvement in athletics took the form of weightlifting and yoga. In 2020, she discovered Pilates and found it to be the perfect combination of discipline, form, and whole body movement. Jenn recently decided to pursue a Pilates instructor program and is currently in the process of completing her Balanced Body certification led by renowned Master Instructor Maria Leone.
Jenn’s goal is to empower her Pilates clients to also reach their full potential while sharing with them her love for, and the benefits of, Pilates.
