After completing an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at McMaster University and a Masters of Science in Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences, specializing in Nutrition, Exercise, and Metabolism from the University of Guelph, Jennifer joined the team at Cleveland Clinic Canada in 2006, where she uses evidence-based strategies to help busy professionals, athletes, and active individuals make simple dietary changes to improve their health and performance, and reduce their risk of disease.
A leading sport nutritionist, Jennifer works with athletes ranging from weekend warriors to athletes in the NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball, and professional tennis.

Outside of her work, Jennifer is an avid sports enthusiast, and a proud mother of two young boys.
Based on the evaluation of our conference, Jennifer was ranked at the highest level possible – 5 out of 5! Jennifer has an exuberance that is catching, and she knows her stuff so very well. I believe that she could have talked for an hour longer, and there would not have been a single complaint. We would very much thank Jennifer and you for making her presentation a tremendous success!”
