About Me

My name is Elise Feller, and I am a senior in the Jackson Academy for Global Studies at Jackson High School with a passion for science, language learning, and foreign diplomacy. Through my courses, community service hours, and international travel opportunities, I have explored many different perspectives on life.

As a student in JAGS, I have had the opportunity to travel the world, learn valuable leadership skills, and make lasting memories that will guide me in the future. During my junior and senior years, I became very involved in Model United Nations, which has made a positive impact on my communication, teamwork, and diplomacy skills. I also learned how to see the world from someone else's perspective and to cultivate more empathy for others.

I was also given the opportunity in March 2023 to become a Youth Ambassador for the Tourette Association of America. In this role, I was able to talk to members of Congress and the Senate to continue funding the research of such a misunderstood neurodevelopmental disorder, as well as support a bill making necessary medications more affordable. 

Today, I continue to educate people of all ages on Tourette's Syndrome, its effects on the patient's brain, and how to advocate for themselves and others.
