Jenelle is an outgoing and warm-hearted young woman who enjoys spending quality time with her friends and family. She has always appreciated the people closest to her and values the memories she creates with them. Jenelle began pursuing her passion for photography with the goal of becoming a professional photographer. She has a natural appreciation for the beauty around her and especially enjoys capturing moments in nature. Jenelle has also recently entered a new and meaningful chapter of her life as a mother to a baby boy. She describes her son as her light and joy and takes great pride in being his mother. Motherhood has become one of the most important parts of Jenelle's life, and she cherishes the time she spends caring for and creating memories with her son.

Jenessa has always found peace and healing in working with her hands. For a long time, assembling Legos has helped her calm her mind and cope with depression. Now, as she navigates postpartum depression with her therapist's guidance, she's turning back to the coping strategies that used to ground her—and building with Legos is one of those. The Lego Disney 101 Dalmatians puppy set is especially meaningful to Jenessa. She loved the 101 Dalmatians movie as a child, and now she gets to share that joy with her son, creating a special connection between them. Sitting down to build this set provides her with a calming, focused activity—something that allows her to slow down, breathe, and gently lift herself out of tough moments.
