Jenny has been a part of Knoxville Ultimate since it captured her heart during her first Summer League in 2012. In addition to playing with regional teams at the Club and Master’s level (including coming in 2nd at Master’s Nationals!), she helps coach the UT’s Women’s Ultimate Team (BOS). She lives for costume tournaments, adores beach ultimate, and thinks a high-release backhand is just the bee’s knees. Jenny joined the KU Board in 2018 with the goal of giving back to a community that she loves, and her goal is to make Knoxville Ultimate the most welcoming, inclusive, and fun ultimate scene around.
