Jeanelle has always loved words since she was a child.  She loved reading

stories and creating stories.  She loved bathing in her own imagination.

​

In middle school, she wrote theater reviews for the local newspaper, The Auburn News. These reviews, among various other genres she submitted, were recognized at the regional and national level through the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.  In high school also was the first-place national winner for the Amnesty International "Change Our World" Essay Contest and a first-place state winner for the United States Institute of Peace Essay Contest for her essay on gender and peacemaking.
