Jen Finelli is an ex-military physician with PTSD and world-traveling sci-fi author who's ridden a motorcycle in a monsoon, swum with sharks, crawled under barbed wire in the mud, and hiked everywhere from hidden coral deserts and island mountains to steaming underground urban tunnels littered with poetry.

Jen Finelli is an ex-military physician with PTSD and world-traveling sci-fi author who's ridden a motorcycle in a monsoon, swum with sharks, crawled under barbed wire in the mud, and hiked everywhere from hidden coral deserts and island mountains to steaming underground urban tunnels littered with poetry.

She has a friend who is a wild monkey, and once had to find her way through swamp-filled Korean foothills dotted with graveyards on Friday the 13th under a full moon without a flashlight.

On her quest to rescue stories often swallowed by the shadows, she's delivered babies, cradled the dying, and interviewed everyone from prostitutes to Senators.

Jen was qualified by the US military as a sexual assault medical forensic examiner and by the Wilderness Medicine Society for her Fellowship of Advanced Wilderness Medicine. She also holds a certification from Evergreen as a Certified Integrative Mental Health Practitioner.

She'd love to help your audience turn their pain into power, whether by answering wilderness medicine questions for the layman, mental health questions for heroes and first responders, or adventure questions for readers just looking to make that transition from imaginary stories to real life purpose.

And of course, she'd love to chat about her rad and highly-rated sci-fi!
