Bio

Jennifer Kehoe started skiing when she was nine after her family moved to Switzerland and her school ran an annual ski camp to the Alps.

Jennifer first experience of guiding was in 2013 when she worked with fellow PyeongChang 2018 teammate Millie Knight, but she was injured prior to Sochi and therefore unable to guide Millie at the Games.

A serving Army Officer in the Royal Engineers, Jennifer has been released for her military duties for two years to train as a full-time athlete and guide for Menna Fitzpatrick – whom she paired with in September 2015.

In 2016 Menna and Jen became the first Brits to win overall World Cup gold and, in 2017, they won bronze in the giant slalom at the World Championships.

At the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games Jen and Menna became Britain’s most successful winter Paralympians when they claimed slalom gold on the final day of action to add to their super combined and giant slalom silvers and super-G bronze.
