Jen Boothby

Assistant Coach Jen Boothby is entering her third season as a Gym Bear. She savors her role as fun maker, communicator extraordinaire, somersault expert and two-time winner of Goldie Bear (so far)! Jen grew up in North Canton, Ohio — home of the Hoover Vikings and vacuum cleaners. She has deep family roots in education and learned at young age the importance of giving back to the community and supporting those around you in all endeavors. She attended The Ohio State University, majoring in Education, then Marketing and after nearly enough credits for three degrees. Later, then took a sabbatical to fly the friendly skies. She traveled and flew for Northwest Airlines as a flight attendant. Jen eventually hung up her wings, and has worked at a family practice in Dublin for the past 25 years. When not traveling back and forth from the University of Miami to visit sons Ayden and Conner, Jen, along with her husband Andy, continue to give back to their community in a myriad of ways, including service as members on the athletic department's booster board.  Jen is excited to help instill a love and passion for not only the sport of gymnastics, but for the amazing community of women and athletes around them. In Jen's spare time, she loves to read, walk the beach, and participate in any and all shenanigans her family will allow.
