Jeanette is an artist, first and foremost. While she expresses herself through many different mediums, at the core she is obsessed with a good story which made her a perfect choice to co-host Season 4 of the 9th Story Podcast.
Jeanette is constantly celebrating all forms of story-telling, and exploring new ways to share new tales. Along with her partner she runs the YouTube Channel “Haunting TV“, where they explore all things horror. They post videos of their own creation as well as let’s plays, and reviews for films, books, and comics.
When she’s not on camera for their channel or podcasting, she’s blogging. Jeanette writes on HorrorMade.com about horror and on jeanette-art.blogspot.com about her adventures in the world of art and design.
