Hi, I'm Jenna.

I'm a rider, writer, roller derby skater, mother, storyteller, and the creator behind Backroad Bandicoot.

For much of my life, survival was the focus. Like many people, I've faced trauma, loss, addiction, setbacks, and more than a few moments that could have convinced me to quit. Instead, those experiences became part of a larger journey—one that taught me resilience, gratitude, and the power of continuing to move forward even when the road gets rough.

Backroad Bandicoot was born from that journey.

What started as a love for motorcycles grew into something bigger: a community built around healing, adventure, personal growth, and authentic connection. Today, I share stories from the road, lessons learned through recovery, experiences in roller derby, travel adventures, and the everyday victories that remind us we're capable of more than we often believe.

The philosophy behind everything I do is simple:

Healing in Motion. One Mile at a Time.

I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm simply documenting the journey, sharing what I've learned, and creating space for others who are finding their own way forward.

Whether you're here because you ride, skate, travel, recover, rebuild, or simply need a reminder that your past doesn't define your future, you're welcome here.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
