Jessica “Jesse” Denton grew up in Stark County, in northeastern Ohio. She spent her childhood summers traveling around the Great Lakes with her family and fell in love with writing and photography at an early age. A graduate of Kent State University, she worked for several student publications including the newspaper The Daily Kent Stater, as well as served as secretary and co-President of the May Fourth Task Force, which honors the students killed and wounded at Kent State in May 1970. After graduation, Jesse worked for The Alliance Review and then moved to Lake Erie to work at the Port Clinton News Herald. She enjoys spending time with her partner, family and cats, as well as listening to music and crafting with friends.
