Outwith work, Jennifer loves triathlon. She became hooked on fitting this in around her career when she won the age group sprint distance world championships in Vancouver during her elective at university. She treats her triathlon with the same dedication and attention to detail as her dentistry and says the two things can compliment each other as require such different skill. She has competed across the distances now and helps to run her husbands locally based club and race team at the weekends.
