Coordinator of Students for H.O.P.E.

Jen McKiernan has been a flight attendant for Skywest Airlines since 2015. Her natural energy and enthusiasm, in addition to her passion for customer care, have ensured safe and memorable travel experiences for thousands of passengers.  She enjoys spending her time traveling to new cities and countries to learn about different cultures.

Jen grew up doing gymnastics at Gym-Kinetics and continued her gymnastics career at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.  Throughout her gymnastics experience Jen learned many skills that made her the person she is today and will continue to guide her throughout her lifetime. Gymnastics was a key element of who Jen is today. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2015 with a BS degree in health and human performance with a health promotion minor.

Jen met Maddie at their second home, Gym-Kinetics. Jen and Maddie had a strong bond and called themselves “Unsisters.”  After Maddie passed, Jen became passionate about becoming an organ donor. Jen firmly believes in the mission of the Maddog Strong Foundation and wants to continue spreading the word about organ and tissue donation—encouraging people to have the conversation with their loved ones.
