My Story

Get to Know Me

In 2024, I became paralyzed with a T3 ASIA B incomplete spinal cord injury. When I first became injured, I discovered there weren't many newly injured people discussing what it was like to be newly injured, so I created S.C.I. Chronicles in May 2024, 2 months post-injury. The first season of the podcast focused on chronicling my first year of living with a spinal cord injury. Since then, the podcast has grown to a space where I invite others to share their experiences living with spinal cord injuries or working with people living with spinal cord injuries. I've interviewed innovators, Paralympians, writers and advocates and love helping others share their stories and passions.

To supplement my podcast and grow my following, I started TikTok and Instagram accounts in 2025 focused on my journey navigating the world as a full-time manual wheelchair user. Follow me @jen_on_spokes for wheelchair basketball, puppies, days in my life as a paraplegic and more!
