Having completed her Masters in Development, Environment, and Cultural Change in Oslo, Jenna needed a break from the existential dread that accumulated from her studies. She was afforded the opportunity to become a bike mechanic with no prior experience. With that, came a blossoming love of bikes and everything they represent.
When Jenna moved back to Calgary, she was determined to make a positive impact in her hometown and she saw bicycles as the perfect starting point. To her, bikes are more than just a way to get around; they build autonomy, foster sustainable habits, deepen our connection to cityscapes and landscapes, and keep a sense of play alive. It was this belief that immediately drew her to Two Wheel View, an organization that also sees the bicycle as a powerful catalyst for change.
When she’s not at the shop, you’ll probably find Jenna cycling around the city with a dog strapped to her chest, wondering the mountains, or lost in a stack of library books
