Jewell graduated from the University of Tennessee summa cum laude in 2022 with a Master of Science in Information Science (MSIS). She also earned a bachelor’s degree in music and vocal performance in 2020 from LeMoyne-Owen College, also with summa cum laude honors.

She also founded Lib3, a Web3 startup that provides Blockchain-powered marketplace and publishing services for professionals in the cycle of academic publishing to combat systems of inequitable pay in academia.

Jewell’s dedication to community service includes her participation in a range of local initiatives. Notably, as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., an esteemed organization dedicated to championing civil rights and social action, Jewell is committed to promoting positive change and advancing equity in her community.
