Jen Hoffman

Jen Hoffman is a native of Newburgh, Indiana, and a graduate of the University of Louisville, where she was a member of the Ladybirds dance team. She met her high school sweetheart, Graig, at the age of 15, and together they have built a life grounded in family, love, and community. They are the proud parents of two children, Makenna and Gabe.

Jen has been a resident of Johnson City, Tennessee for more than 27 years. Although officially retired, she remains actively engaged in meaningful work and service. After a 20‑year career as a pharmaceutical representative, where she found purpose in supporting patients and contributing to improved health outcomes, she now devotes her energy to causes close to her heart.

You can find her volunteering at Kari’s Heart Foundation which helps families of hospitalized children. Jen uses her background in marketing and fundraising to help families facing medical challenges feel supported and cared for by helping families with expenses such as transportation, housing, food, and so much more. She serves on the Speedway Children’s Charities Board of North Wilkesboro Speedway and supports Children Exceeding Expectations, a school dedicated to children undergoing cancer treatments—where she also assists with their annual trip to Disney.

Outside of her volunteer commitments, Jen enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and maintaining an active lifestyle. She approaches each day with intention, gratitude, and a continued commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Supporting the Jeremiah School and its mission to serve children in our region is a natural fit for Jen, whose heart for helping families runs deep. And when Dancing With the Stars Tri-Cities came calling, she couldn’t resist dusting off those old college dance team moves. She’s thrilled to hit the stage, have some fun, and shake off a little sparkle for a great cause.
