Jen is a senior in the School of Nursing.  She has absolutely no dance experience, but has always thought Irish dancing was amazing. When nursing began to take over her entire life in winter 2007 and she decided it was time to do something really different, she was excited to find out that Leim was willing to teach her how to dance.  Since then, she has discovered that she loves Irish dance, Celtic festivals, and her fellow dancers.  She is very grateful to them for working through her complete lack of grace and turning her into a halfway-decent dancer, although she has been told that she now holds the record for the most impressive fall during a practice. Jen would like to thank her downstairs neighbors for putting up with her hardshoe practice in her top-floor apartment.
