Jennifer "Jen" Armbruster (born February 12, 1975[2] in Taipei) is an American goalball player. She was married to fellow teammate Asya Miller.[3] Her current wife is Jackie Bower, whom she shares a son and 3 other children with.
Armbruster began losing her vision at 14, but continued to play in her school's basketball team, but her vision loss progressed to the point of being legally blind. She later lost her vision completely and therefore did not join the military like her father. Instead she found success in goalball and played at the 1992 Summer Paralympics and several Paralympic Games since. She has won a gold medal.[4]
