Jeanne Cameron

Jeanne Cameron, Volt employee working as a Support Analyst at Microsoft, has been on assignment with Volt for several months. When she isn’t moving fast at Microsoft, she is speeding through life during her time off. Jeanne holds the American record for Speed Skydiving and is preparing to attempt to break the world record in Speed Skydiving this year. When Jeanne competes, she makes three jumps from an altitude of 4,000 meters (13,124 feet) and tries to free fall as fast as she can.

What is Speed Skydiving?

Speed skydiving is a new skydiving discipline with a definition as simple as it gets. It was developed in the last few years and represents the fastest non-motorized sport on Earth. In the essence, speed skydiving is the discipline where the only one aspect of the skydiving counts – freefall speed. Achieving and maintaining high free fall speed is the goal of speed skydiving. You can learn more about the sport by going to the International Speed Skydiving Association’s website: http://www.speedskydiving.eu/?p=p_15&sName=what-is-
