In addition, she can be heard on podcasts with Orvis, The Woman Angler and Adventurer, The Kayak Fishing Show, Jackson Kayak, The 12th Story, The Itinerant Angler, Fish on the Brain, and others.

She is a member of the Board of Directors for Fly Fishers International and member of the Board of Directors for AFFTA.  When not on the water, she spends her time empowering women in the sport, teaching fly-tying and fly-casting clinics, speaking nationwide, and devoting her time to conservation efforts through nonprofits.  A sounding board for women in this currently male-dominated sport, Jen has created a home base for women worldwide through DUN to connect and engage in the art of fly fishing.

Jen's feature presentation will be "The History of Women in Fly Fishing".
