From a young age 17-year-old ENTP jellyellie has been a prominent figure in the media for a range of unconventional entrepreneurial achievements. At the age of 13 she created the hit website bluejackQ.com, the world’s first and most cited website about bluejacking – the art of sending anonymous messages via Bluetooth mobile phones. bluejackQ, now with 5.9 million page views, took the media by storm and jellyellie was featured in national and international print, TV, newspapers, magazines, websites, books and academic papers such as the BBC, CNN, Slashdot, The Times, etc.

At 15 jellyellie went on to sign her first publishing deal for her book How Teenagers Think, an insider’s guide for parents about bringing up teenagers. jellyellie was inspired to tackle this issue after noticing a lack of parenting books actually written by teenagers, so she set out to give parents a real insider’s view into what it’s like being a teenager today. Not only does jellyellie use her views to broach 21 of the most common subjects parents and their teens face today – from sex and drugs to money, school and being spoilt – she has also interviewed a wide range of her friends from the length and breadth of the country to gather their opinions. These unique, lively interviews are a real highlight of the book as it’s obvious jellyellie has a real interest in people and is able to show adults the teenage world in a way they can understand.

jellyellie and How Teenagers Think have received a lot of media attention from both national and international TV, radio, magazines and newspapers, and the book was serialised in the Mail on Sunday’s YOU magazine. How Teenagers Think is stocked in every Waterstone's in the country, is a Top 40 Amazon bestseller, and has spent a day on the front page of Amazon Books due to nothing but the sheer strength of jellyellie and the book - not a penny was spent on marketing.

Dubbed "The voice of the MSN generation" by The Guardian, jellyellie continues to make frequent appearances on national TV and radio programmes as an expert voice of her generation.

jellyellie speaks at professional conferences and seminars, such as the Bookseller's recent What Teens Want trade seminar giving adults an insight into today's teenage world. jellyellie also speaks to students and teenagers, inspiring them to achieve their own great successes.

After speaking at a young enterprise event for the Isle of White Young Chamber UK, jellyellie was invited by the chief executive, who was present at her talk, to become an honorary member of the Young Chamber UK board. jellyellie accepted her role with bounds of enthusiasm, and is looking forward to helping shape the direction of this body, encouraging and enthusing schools and business to work together to help inspire young people.

jellyellie also undertakes work to help companies gain an insight into teenagers today; she is currently working three days a week for youth marketing agency Livity in London in the role of Senior Adult Advisor/Social Networking Expert.

Of course, jellyellie loves reading and writing, and she naturally fell into the position of editor of www.spinebreakers.co.uk, a new online community for teenagers who love reading. The website is funded and created by Penguin books, but Penguin have handed over the running of the site and content creation to a team of 8 teen editors, of which jellyellie is one. Through her role, jellyellie has had the opportunity to meet and interview a range of highly acclaimed authors - such as conducting an exclusive podcast interview with Nick Hornby about his new book Slam - and go to lots of awesome launch parties in London. Where the canapés all tend to be crap but she once found some metre long breadsticks which were quite fun.

jellyellie's other interests are listening to music, playing the guitar and bass (she likes slap bass), juggling and spinning poi (preferably on fire). Her biggest passion is for anything to do with the sea: sailing yachts, windsurfing, wakeboarding, and flying powerkites all, um, float her boat - see the sailing page for more info.

jellyellie also has a bit of a weird interest in people - she loves the whole psychology/personality/body-language thing and could easily spend a day in London just watching everybody walk past. However, this is a little strange, so jellyellie just sticks to "enjoys meeting new people" - making contacts is her favourite pastime.

jellyellie's goal in life is to have fun. Through doing so, she will meet tonnes of awesome people, and "make shitloads of money". OK, so her proper goal is to write books, be a freelance writer/journalist, then set up her own business (currently in the process of 'secret start-up') and become a multi-billionaire magnanimous entrepreneur. Sorted.
