As the first of her family to graduate college and earn a graduate degree, she is a zealot for education. She incorporates little known facts, like the bit about smelling a cold on a person in the short story The Patient, into each of her stories. Jade holds various degrees in English and medicine. She is currently working on a degree in Creative Writing. Having grown up as mix of Puerto Rican and African American, Jade countered the stereotypes by allowing her actions to resonate more than her words.
